Our Christchurch Art Gallery reopened just before Christmas, after all the repairs following the February 2011 earthquake were finally completed. Sadly I was away overseas at the time. Chris was here and was the first through the door on opening day. She was keen to escort me through the new exhibitions, most of which were based around local art and artists - and appropriately so. I have to admit it was quite an emotional moment walking back through those doors after over 5 years.

One of my favourite Canterbury paintings is this one below "Camp in the Kowai' by Austen Deans from Peel Forest.
Ah yes - that Rita Angus and the Austin Deans Kowai Camp painting mean so much to me.

Thought you would like the Kowai painting. One of my favourites. Put it in with you in mind.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your art gallery opening ceremony. I am planning to arrange photography exhibition next month so I am looking for elegant and spacious Chicago event venues. Hope to find perfect venue and also hope that event will be a great success.
