Memories of Days Bay captured in Watercolours
Alan Collins painted this this wonderful scene of Days Bay from his memories of happy summer days at the Bay. Check out the bathing sheds on the right which would be wheeled down to the waters edge so that women could step out into the water without being seen. Alan has some wonderful stories too of when he was allowed to steer the ferries.
This painting is one of thirty watercolours by Alan Collins form his exhibition now on at Petone's seaside gallery, The exhibition is on together with a photography exhibition by Simon Woolf and can be viewed until Sunday 27 Nov
