Owhiro Bay is a tiny community along the rugged South Shore. Although it is just minutes from the city, it has a remote feel. Our friend, Patrick, has found a studio space here and invited us over for a painting experience. In his extensive beach-combing, Patrick has collected an array of bones, shells, plant life and other organic materials to inform his work. On this day, however, our inspiration was one of Marlborough's fine Sauvignon Blancs, "Gravitas".
Cat and Vasha joined us, and Patrick graciously ran us through a crash course in "painting 101" before unleashing us on the canvas.
I've never painted before, and was surprised at how utterly engrossing a process it is.
In the end, we all had a great time. For those interested in learning more about Patrick's amazing work, here's his website: http://patrickpryor.com/
