I have made a few tentative steps towards preparing for my
next painting about Leo going to work at the other side of the world.
Last week I made some drawings of the old beams in our 300
year old cottage (laid on the floor so I could look at the ceiling) to
represent the UK and I will contrast these with a structure of a Maori Meeting
house to symbolise New Zealand.
‘Haka Powhiri’ is a chant of welcome when newcomers come
ashore and maybe the title of my new painting – we’ll have to see how it
develops.
