RUSH HOUR - NASEBY

from 100.00

Naseby is one of the gems of North Otago, tucked up against the hills at the top of the Maniototo Plains. In summer, it floods with visitors of the best kind: families - complete with noisy, ice-cream licking, splashing dashing kids! In winter - well, it's quiet. This picture of Naseby's main street, set in autumn evening, reflects the cusp season. Two cyclists at the end of a long day on the Otago Rail Trail rest a moment before heading to accommodation. It's a pretty place - unhurried and welcoming. Can it remain that way? I hope so.

Works In Watercolour

Works In Watercolour showcases the superb watercolour paintings and photography of Russell Perry from Otago, New Zealand.

No tuition, no art classes - this artist came to wield a brush following a vehicle accident and some tough times. Despondent, he turned to God with the question, "What next?"

The resultant paintings have astounded many. The work is polished, vibrant, sound of colour and construction, and celebratory of God the Creator.

This site provides access to his works. Paintings, fine art prints and photographs can be purchased. More importantly, it provides powerful witness to a God who gives with testimonies that have the power to change lives. Russell Perry's story is every bit as remarkable as the images you will enjoy here.

BLOG: "BITING INTO A BIG PAINTING"

Here's the latest off the easel, and some thoughts about an old lesson I seem to have to keep learning!

Do you find you do dumb things repeatedly at times? I do! Read about my foolishness - perhaps there’s something to learn in there for you too. To read more, visit the Update Blog.

We'd love to hear from you...

So many have spoken into our growth, our walk, our direction. Thank you. None of us do this life alone.

We hope that will continue. Please, if you have a word to share, do so. If you have comment or feedback about our work here, or an interest in purchasing an item, do get in touch. We'd enjoy that.

Come find us in the Selah Gallery at En Hakkore, or use one of our contact details.

"AUTUMN RECLAMATIONS #1"

When we look at a painting, or hear a symphony, or read a book, and feel more Named, then, for us, that work is a work of Christian art. But to look at a work of art and then to make a judgment as to whether or not it is art, and whether or not it is Christian, is presumptuous. It is something we cannot know in any conclusive way. We can know only if it speaks within our own hearts, and leads us to living more deeply with Christ in God.

Madeleine L'Engle (2016). “Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art”, p.41, Convergent Books

“A Christian should use these arts to the glory of God, not just as tracts, mind you, but as things of beauty to the praise of God. An art work can be a doxology in itself.”

Francis A. Schaeffer, Art & the Bible

“If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing.”

Marc Chagall
