This painting has Zara, who is a keen ballet dancer, leaping with joy, while her younger sister Amelie, watches in the background. The mood is one of gaiety and abandon and exhibits a love of life.
Here are Amelie on the left and Zara on the right at the unveiling in my studio, after a very pleasant lunch.
I live and work in Auckland, New zealand. I am a serial dabbler in the arts, with an interest in writing, poetry, public speaking and painting. I’m a frequent writer and commentator on intellectual property and information technology issues. I regularly write on and lecture on the art of advocacy, both oral and written. An example is a webinar I gave in 2018 “Mastering Advocacy: Effective Written and Oral Advocacy and How to Maximise Both”. My goal as an artist is to try and capture a little piece of that magnificent natural beauty that exists around us and preserve it in a time capsule so others can ponder and experience the wonder, before it evaporates away into the endless sands of time.
