It's the last week to view these works at Linwood Arts and Eastside Gallery Spring Show. Thanks to everyone that has popped in to see the show (and to the new owners of "In the rosy light of day") 🙏👏👏

Eastside’s exciting annual show for emerging and mid-career artists features six artists exhibiting recent work. Antoinette Wastney, Emma Velde-Schaffer, Estefania Mondaca, Hannah Martin, Duncan Nash and Ian Batchelor.

Location: Eastside Gallery, 388 Worcester St, Christchurch, free parking onsite.
Check the website for hours: https://www.linwoodarts.org/eastside-spring-2023/

On Monday, Strange Materials opens with 20 local artists exhibit weird and wonderful works made with materials not commonly used in the making of art. Materials include xrays, shopping lists, cutlery, onion skins, electronics, seaweed, curtains and kitchen spices.

Images: "Where the wild thing go" (and detail) and me with this work and "Over hill and down dale".

'In the rosy light of day' this work is on show at @linwoodartsandeastsidegallery along with some beautiful portraiture, collage and sculpture by local artists. My son said to me at the opening that it was a bit unfair having abstracts with realistic painting as people would think mine were much easier to create. I've been mulling this over, I think for me (with abstract works) when things are not working it's usually only me that can see it; but with works grounded in realism, when they're not right, well then everyone can see it!
