Cherish - Mother and Child Painting

Hello and Happy New Year!

The last painting for the Lightly on the Land exhibition is complete.

We had our 2-year old and 4-year old kids down with chicken pox, then after too much lost sleep, we ended up with terrible tummy bugs and ourselves to look after, so I never thought I'd get this last piece for the exhibition, titled "Cherish", finished!

Please let me know if you'd like to receive your personal invitation to the the preview evening by post and also let me know if you'd like extra invitations for friends, family, co-workers who might be interested.

Please email me with your mailing address. These invitations will also be sent by email in a week or so, the exhibition is only three weeks away!

Kind regards,

Ka kite,

Bryce Brown

Lightly on the Land Exhibition

Bryce will be exhibiting a collection of new works at the Zohar Gallery in Mt. Maunganui, New Zealand, opening on January 25th.

Bryce says of the body of work in the "Lightly on the Land" exhibition:

This is my strongest, most defined and most honest body of work yet. These paintings reflect a lot on the lives of my wife and I. Catherine has an amazing ability to be in the garden up to her knees in dirt, transforming within minutes into the most amazingly beautiful woman who could dine quite comfortably with royalty! This is about New Zealand women who carry an air of realness.

The 2007 book New Zealand’s Favourite Artists features Bryce as one of the sixty artists who are currently impacting on the New Zealand art scene. His images have also been used in the 2008 Calendar of the same name, as well as other various corporate calendars throughout NZ.

This will be Bryce’s eighth solo exhibition. He is a full time artist living in Mount Maunganui with his wife Catherine (who runs The Dance House Tauranga) and their four children.
