Saturday at school

Wednesday Moon painting

     
                               There was a crescent moon over Mount Cook the other night.
                               I made a note of it in my notebook and looked forward to attacking
                               my picture plain at school.

                             
                               Saturday morning painting session produced a waka whare out of
                               a picture plain of confusion.

                                Looks like a fish?

Large work

                                        
                                         Another large work I am developing.  Perspective elements
                                         accidentally appear through the haze.I like where this is going.
                                         An painter that has caught my attention is  Peter Doig.

Friday session

                                     
                                          Continuing from Friday's session, I was thinking
                                          of Polynesian canoe voyaging. The horizon and
                                          mountains. There are no mountains on Niue Island.

My school space. I seem to work better at school than at home.

I think it's because I am continually inspired by the other students.
