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).

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.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
