Far North Art Gallery - North Shore Connection..
Travelling in the Far North last week and caught the last day of Julie Battisti, a local artist's exhibition in the No.1 Parnell Gallery, Rawene.
I was taken by some (to me, not an art buff BTW) wonderful large oil flower paintings, and there were several sizable (up to A1) flower photos plus a powerful single poppy photo. A copy may well be destined for one of our walls - see attached.
If you go to her website many of the oils from the exhibition are there - www.juliebattisti.com....
When I was there I also noticed a large, impossible to miss, Dean Buchanan painting.
The North Shore connection is I believe, that the gallery is owned by Devonport people. Correct me if I'm wrong
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
