I sold one painting, Tararua Sunrise No. 4.

The Rotary Art Show was not nearly as high a standard as I expected, with some pretty amateurish work on display, as well as some good quality work. None of my works won any awards. I probably wouldn't have given them awards as I don't think they were the best in any category, although of a comparable or better standard than most of the work on display I think.

Two More Exhibitions

I have three paintings each in two exhibitions over Labour weekend.

The Paraparaumu Rotary Tenth Annual Art Show and Competition runs from Friday 19th October to Monday 22 October at Southward Car Museum, Otaihanga Rd, Paraparaumu. The three paintings entered are "Abstract Eye"," Tararua Sunrise No. 3" and "Three Poplars".

The Mana Art Society annual exhibition and sale runs from 20 to 22 October at the Mana Art Society rooms at Plimmerton Domain, Porirua. The three paintings on show are "Low Tide, Pauatahanui Inlet", "Tararua Sunrise No. 4" and "Hazy Day, Parapara Range".

I have not entered either of these exhibitions previously. I imagine the standard is quite high at the Rotary Art Show. I suspect the Mana show will be the usual mixed bag.

My painting won first prize in the "works on canvas" section of the 2012 Wellington Emerging Artist Award.

This is my first award and is a major endorsement of my career as an artist.

There is also a people's choice award, to be decided based on voting over the course of the exhibition from 1st to 8th October. So if you feel like voting for my painting please call in at Artrium Gallery, Tinakori Rd, Wellington and cast your vote.
