“Into the Mist” - News from Korimako
9/23/2023
Hi everyone,
It’s been a busy odd month at the studio. As well as battling a nasty virus, which slowed me down , I’ve taught two weekend workshops – which always involves a lot of preparation. Though they were two subjects which I hadn’t taught before , both were good fun in the end , despite the odd wild coughing spasm.
I’m teaching just one more workshop this year – a Beginners Watercolour workshop on 4th/5th November, check my website workshop page for more info. After that I’ll be have a break from teaching until late autumn.
Other news…
I’m delighted that my watercolour “Into the Mist” has been accepted as part of the Tasman Art Awards national exhibition , which opens on Saturday 23rd September at 7pm and runs for two weeks, it’ll be well worth a visit to Mapua to check this one out.
I’ve also been updating my website ART STORE , where you can now buy my 2024 Calendar, as well as prints and cards – and each month a different featured original painting.
I’m hoping now to have some time to settle down to paint, as I need to begin planning for a solo exhibition which is 23 months away – it sounds like a long time away but I have lot of paintings to complete for that one , which will involve a bit of travel hopefully too!
I’m always happy to see visitors if you’re coming through St.Arnaud. Korimako studio is open most days 10am- 4pm , so please call in and say hi!
PS
If you’re an artist in the Nelson/Tasman region and looking for a gallery presence in Nelson you may be interested in the vacancy we have at Wall to Wall collective, a busy gallery right in the heart of the CBD.
