Far North Art Gallery - North Shore Connection..

Ewen from Belmont

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
