Thought I'd share with you a rather long image

This painting is of some 'stroppy little hunters', collecting insects after a storm.

Click on the 1st image, you'll discover it's longer than you think!

Look what just visited me!

Unbelievable! look who I had visit me in the studio.
He must have arrived in the night and was making himself at home on my desk when I went to work in the studio this morning. I was concerned that i might frighten him when I took these photos, but he seemed relaxed and stayed around for a wee while enjoying the warmth of the lamp when I turned it on, then as quick as a flash he flew off (I had to put the cats away in case they chased him).Wow what awesome little experience to finally meet a flying Pygmy Tuatara!

Just a thought or two

If you were to leave a house on the west coast for 10 or so years, you would come back to discover it engulfed by the bush and probably hard to find, To us this would seem chaotic, but to the birds and lizards etc, this is back to a comfortable order .Having had this in mind, I have painted from the viewpoint of my banks peninsula environment and ecology ,thinking whimsically 'what would happen if one was to leave a window open here for a length of time?'We are surrounded by a great treasure, our unique wildlife and like our history it too is vulnerable as a china tea set in Canterbury .
