Cafe Roses
Drawing in Cafe’s is a singular pleasure.
The barista in the tiny Mazagran Cafe in Dunedin looked over as I drew their roses and commented “That painting looks as if the wind blew the petals onto the page.”

3143 Oranges in the Bowl Liz made
The story behind this painting
My friend Liz is a ceramic artist who is currently working under difficult conditions as she cares full time for a dementia patient with ever growing needs. Whenever she can she sneaks off for stolen moments in her garage, fashioning her hand built ceramic works.
The other day she posted a picture of her newest bowl, a work with industrial overtones saying “all it needs now is some fruit in it”. I read the message, stacked some oranges in a bowl in front of me and got out my watercolours to paint them. Here you see the bowl as well as the watercolour of the bowl full of oranges. Liz liked the painting so much that I posted it off to her.
I have so much respect for the many people, mainly women, taking care of others who are needy and I thought if I could make a little difference and bring some joy, I would.
