I spent a lot of time trying painterly versions of this, pastel versions, and then, unsatisfied, did a quick ink & wash which was the better.
Worcester Gallery & Alison Ryde
Right opposite the Arts Centre Café is the Worcester Gallery. In the early 80s we looked at buying this house, but bought Chester Street instead, as this one had too much work to do on it. All that work has now been done. I had an hour or two free & decided to pop in before doing some work in the café. I knocked on the door & was delighted with of the works in this gallery in a boutique little hotel.
I particularly liked the works of Alison Ryde, a Christchurch artist now working in Italy.
One of hers I like follows:
Cook
#389 Cook
No Larger Image, this all there is.
Found a pile of doodles on the Palm. They go back to the Mt Cook trip last summer holidays. This one is just as in on the Palm. Some of the others I have used in collage.

Mt Cook Daisy
This is Celmesia Lyallii, I think I have that right from my days as an assistant to Hugh Wilson when he was surveying the plants of the Mt Cook region in the late ’60s, early ’70s.

Lillies
This is not really a Lily, but a buttercup. Ranunculus Lyallii
it is iconic in New Zealand and iwas the emblem for Mt Cook Airlines and buses until Air New Zealand took them over. I want to find one of those old logos, can’t find it on the web.
I was pleased to find these on my walk up to the Ball Shelter.

Aoraki Triangles
A while back I made a podcast while looking at this view, noticing the triangles. I said I’d draw it then, and I have.
