Hi folks, further to my September blog when I introduced my latest project to you and my reproduction of Te Hau Takiri, the 1901 portrait by C.F. Goldie OBE, I have enjoyed some amazing support, resulting in commissions for several further paintings.

Being quite new to the local community, I have been looking for opportunities to get more involved and so, I'm collaborating with other artists to help raise funds for Hospice.

We were so intrigued with these snubbed headed birds that I decided to do a painting of one .
