Notes
Happy Snapper
He's done a lot since then, but to me John Reynolds will always be the artist who walked from the Arts Centre into town to buy a roll of film,* but was so entranced by the beauty of fallen leaves in the Avon River that he used it all up on the way back.
Notes
International Beer Day!
I couldn't resist a selection of beer related art works from the Gallery's collection. My favourite is Hogarth's Bear drinking beer or is that beer drinking bear.
Notes
Burning sands of Onekaka
While staying in Takaka last week I stopped off at Onekaka, which is just up the road from the Mussel Inn – one of my favourite bars.
Notes
Malevich was a sailor
My recent visit to Nelson's Founders Heritage Park last week was motivated by the incredible collection of ancient printing equipment in the Nelson Printery. However, a surprise lay in wait for me on entering the Maritime Building.
