'Otama Bay, Coromandel', Crayon on Paper, 2003.

When I went to Vietnam over the summer I bought a beautiful little painting from a shop in Hanoi. There was a larger piece there that I couldn't bring back but luckily a friend was visiting Hanoi earlier this month and bought it for me. Big thanks to Lisi, and the team at Artworks for re-constructing the frame.

Would have liked to get more oils done in the holidays but sometimes life gets in the way, have to get more done next time.

'Cat Ba, Vietnam', Oil on Board, 2012.
Very dark picture which doesn't do the colour justice, will replace it later down the track.

'Halong Bay, Vietnam', Oil on Board, 2012.
Not the best photo but should get a couple more oils done these holidays.

I recently found a series of drawings completed in my second year of art school. The idea was the struggle of the working class with the symbol being a hammer in the shape of a question mark surrounded by stormy clouds.

Of the three posters I bought in Hanoi, here is the third one which is un-framed.

I have had this little Woollaston drawing of Mapua for about twelve years, but it never sees the light of day and has been passed on to Dunbar Sloane auctioneers to find a new home.

After enjoying some crazy, epic train journeys through India in 2003, I had said I would do something with the tickets to commemorate that trip. In December last year I spent LOTS of time and money putting this together, showing the tickets and travel in chronological order over a map where I spent most of my time. The photo in the centre is from that trip, but this photo of the overall picture doesn't really do it justice.

I bought this painting in Hanoi under the influence of too many local beers. I absolutely love it though but cannot remember the artists name, it's hard to interpret the signature on the back. I also loved the frame so much that I lugged it around in pieces for three weeks. Big thanks to Sharon at 'Art Works' in Karori for fixing it back up again.
