Feel free to call in to check out his mastery of this art and hear some of his amazing and funny yarns about his painting experiences.
This painting titled, ''Night & Day'' Discharging Our Fuel'' is one of the last paintings Alan painted on the spot for his exhibition, now on at the Gallery and this is the last weekend to view it.
Alan has been busy preparing for his exhibition over past year, it features 25 new paintings, many of around the Hutt Valley, Eastern Bays and Wellington harbour and most were painted on the spot, (plein air). The exhibition is open 10.30 - 4pm daily until next Wednesday, 25th Nov. At the same time as visiting Alans exhibition, feel free to check out our amazing range of other local art and unique range of NZ made gifts. Don't forget to wish him a happy birthday for next week, 94 years young.
