Ashhurst Artist Opening Studio to the Public Next Weekend
Ashhurst artist Graham Christensen will be opening his studio to the public over the weekend of the 15th and 16th of October as part of the Art Trail Manawatu.
Having spent much of his life farming in and around the region, Graham’s paintings capture rural life and moments in time that make up the rich tapestry of our farming community. He lives on a farm on Glenburn Road and paints from a large, light-filled studio – a converted room at the back of the barn.
Whilst he did not pick up an artist’s brush until his early 60’s Graham quickly showed a natural talent with oils and a great affinity with the rural landscape, quickly leading to him becoming a highly recognised artist within the region.
To find out more about the Art Trail Manawatu, including our other talented local artists taking part please see www.communityarts.org.nz.... You can visit Graham as part of the Art Trail, or drop in to his open studio independently on the 15th and 16th of October, 10am – 4pm.
Address: 84 Glenburn Road (turn off Napier Rd, opposite Greenhaugh Gardens). There is good access (no need for gumboots!) and plenty of parking. For more info see www.grahamchristensen.co.nz...

Fedora hat wanted
Does anyone have a fedora hat (like all men wore in the 40's and 50's) that I could borrow, hire or but. I need a hat for a function over Labour Weekends.
