Shades of purple through to plum. Also shades of aqua. I actually love all colours and often wear rainbow coloured accessories or tops.

My times on the hill can be a bit erratic. Sometimes if I am engrossed in Artwork I don't spend so much time on the computer, but I will keep an eye on the bulletins and blogs and sometimes add my own to keep in touch. Friends, please forgive if I appear to be neglecting you at times. Betty, Aug.2010

SUMMER IN NEW ZEALAND - A lot of our summer activities center on water - Sea - Rivers - lakes. Most of us live within easy reach of one or more.
Beautiful Kaiteriteri Beach 30minutes up the coast from where I live. In Summer, packed with people and boats. In Winter serene and quiet - peace for those who live there. This is an oil painting I have done from photos I took.
Alisons children cooling off in quiet little Helena Bay when we took time out on 24th Dec 2009. (see other pics in my gallery)
All the paintings on this page are my own work. There are more to see in my gallery. I hope you enjoy browsing through.

Grandmother of eight great kids.
I've lived in the Nelson area for 22years. Its a great region to live in with a very good climate. After moving here, I began painting. The past 11years I have been very happy out at Mapua, a coastal town 30min.drive from Nelson.

PAINTING
Gardening. Rainbows. Butterflies.
Nature in all ways. Being by the sea.
Being outdoors when not painting or on computer. Brain Games.

Kite Festival, Nelson - NZ. Jan 2010
The 19 Annual Kite festival under the auspices of Rainbow Flight and Nelson Kite Club. I have Facepainted at each of these wonderful, fun events. Our beginnings were at the Nelson Market where Rainbow flight had a stall and I was nearby facepainting - rainbows!- plus Butterflies, Unicorns, Lions etc.
MY Favourite MusicRelaxing 'mood' music, Most old-time favourites which I love to hear on radio and sing along to. Quite a wide variety really depending on my mood and circumstances. Mark Knopfler ranks high, Vangelis, Enya, ElDivo, Celtic style Folk Music, Warsaw Concerto (The Depth and passion stirs one's being) -better stop there I think.

My life is my Hobby.
'Tahunanui Tidal Patterns' - This beach is within Nelson City. I love to absorb myself in the rhythmic movement of the waves during lower tides. To me this represents the symphony of life.
