Brenda Nightingale: Christchurch Hills 2010–2012
Dec 2012 – Feb 2013
Local artist Brenda Nightingale's beautifully produced, hand-stitched publication features a selection of recent watercolours based on one of Christchurch's defining features, the Port Hills

About this Exhibition
In Nightingale's series the spectacular Port Hills are depicted in freely applied washes of watercolour that verge on abstraction. Everyday features like a walking-track sign, a concrete lamp-post or a survey marker provide subtle contrasts to the spectacular vistas and landforms of one of Christchurch's defining features.
The publication will be available from drop boxes throughout the city. In particular the Gallery Shop on Lichfield street and the Gallery's space at NG on Madras street.
