“the way I had come
and, secretly,
the way
I was still to go,
brought together
in the unyielding ground
and in the symmetry
of the moving sky,
caught in still waters,”
~ David Whyte from ‘Twice Blessed
The Moving Sky from home here at the Kenepuru Heads – the stillness soaking in, moving with the sky. This is one of my three paintings currently on show at the Mitchell Studios in Khandallah, Wellington till August 24th. These three plus a few others of mine are part of a Ngaio Fine Arts Revisited collection with some fabulous paintings that have a connection with Suzanne and Max Beer over the years. I’m very happy to be included in this collection as a tribute to these two who represented me in Wellington for over thirty years, selling many of my works in the process.


These are beautiful Ian. look forward to seeing them.

I haven’t dropped in for a while, Ian, but I see that you are still creating gorgeous works. “Be still and Listen” is magical.

I love your work! The top one reminds me of Turner’s Buttermere…a gentler one…the detail is not the same but the sense of mist is. The poem you chose and the title…as fine as the fine painting.

Thank you so much….What a comparison! David Whyte’s poetry is surely an inspiration too!
