SNOWED INN

SNOWED INN

Winter: snow on the ground and a chill in the air. What could be nicer than finding a wee hut at end of day, one with dry firewood, a door that closes out the draught, and a good stove on which to get some bacon sizzling and brew a cup of hot, sweet tea.

Outside: silence. Lots of it.

Worth the effort? For sure! Even the best hotels can’t offer such blessed luxury!

STILL STANDING

STILL STANDING

Original watercolour by Russell Perry

This mud brick wool shed sits just off Ridge Road, near Naseby, Central Otago. Though it has seen better times, it is still a thing of substance. Mud brick was a frequently used building material in this region, often made of a mixture of local clays, tussock grass for binding, and cow manure because that’s what grandpa did. The bricks were strongly made, often more so than the mortar which held them together.

This old mud-brick and timber building has withstood many years of Otago weather, a harsh and cold place in winter, dry and very hot in summer. The bricks would have been made nearby. It is one of many dilapidated buildings in this area that give testament to the hardy souls who first dared to farm here.

Way down on the south east coast of New Zealand's South Island is a place called "The Catlins". It is one of this country's gems in terms of seascapes, forests, stunning vistas and abundant bird life. It is raw, vital, endlessly interesting and deeply refreshing - a delightful place to immerse in God's creation for a wee while.

One of the highlights is the low tide walk to Cathedral Cave. The sea action has worn deeply into the cliffs to form a large cave. You can walk right in, and walk out again via a second cave. You can see both as the dark areas in the line of cliffs in the painting.

Dotted around the edges of New Zealand’s rich, verdant bush lie these little cottages, some no more than huts, where those who find city life to be an anathema can replenish their souls. The sun and its stately rhythm govern the pace of life. In our cities, we starve ourselves of His Creation. Some of us miss that more than others.

Oamaru Hay Harvest

Oamaru Hay Harvest

Original Watercolour 2017
$290  -  Framed

Round bales are an indication that heavy machinery is involved. The bales can't be shifted otherwise. Yet in the background stands what was probably a once proudly lived in farm house, built at a time when baling hay was a man's hard work and bales were much, much smaller. How quickly times change.

These pretty little flowers pop up from the barren ground at the first hints of rain. Some say they are the predictors of rain, some say they are the indicators that the increasing autumnal dews or the first rains have been sufficient to stimulate their growth. They are commonly called "rain" flowers. I have adjusted the name, for to me they represent in their kingly purples and regal stamens of gold, a promise of God's overarching promise and plan for this land.

Hayovel represents a new force in the Christian world. It's message is both beautiful and simple, and though it is newly expressed, it is not a new message; it is founded in the original, recorded Word of Christian faith. It brings life to who Jesus/Yeshua was, and who He still is today. It lifts the essence of where He came from, addresses the singularity of His roots, engages in the Jewish context of covenants that preceded Him, and breathes new life into the Jesus we seek to love, understand and follow. The message is dressed in the banners of humility, integrity, honesty and a repenting heart. 

I received the image painted here after being deeply stirred by teaching heard during my time on harvest, Tommy Waller holds the flags of the nations who answered Hayovel's call to serve in 2017. Other nations have answered in the past, but only those nine nations came this year.

Do you have a heart for the Jew and for Israel? Do you want to be a participant in a ministry of relationship with the farmers of Judea and Samaria? Can you dare to stand on their hilltops - a sometimes dangerous and challenging place, an action you will likely be misunderstood and castigated for - with a heart full of Jesus, a soul bent with repentance for that which has gone before in the Christian-Jewish intercourse, a mouth disciplined to refrain from proselytising, and a spirit so alive that it bears witness to the possibility of the truth of the newest covenant of all, that of the Risen Christ.

If this image, and the others with it, cause you to hunger in this way, answer Tommy's call. Hear, then heed, then harvest.

Up two hours ago. It's 6:30 and the sun is just breaking over Shiloh. The dew is heavy on the vines so we've delayed the picking for 20 minutes: all are engaged in deleafing, revealing the grapes beneath. As the colours wash the sky and sparkle on the dew drops, we feel our spirits lift to the Glory of our Creator God. It is a stunning time in the vines. Then, just when we think we can be filled no more, our hearts are lifted to new levels by glorious songs of praise rising from the violin. God is very, very present at such moments. Each of us sense we are in the courts of the King. Hallelujah! Our voices rise to the heavens as our fingers commence the harvest.

When you live in close community, you get to see people in all their guises. In most communities like this, it takes considerable effort to maintain a constructive and positive environment. Here's a different take: 

Each year on this hilltop deep in Israel are gathered people from many walks and experiences, nations and tongues. All have something in common though, something that overrides those differences, indeed something that blends those differences into a cohesive, functional community of united heart and rich accord. That "thing" in common is sacrificial love - a readiness to sacrifice for a loving God, a readiness to share testimony of the blessings derived from a relationship with that loving God, a readiness to put all else aside for the common purpose of serving that God on His Samarian hilltops so that HIS will may be done. The individual will becomes a secondary thing altogether.

In such an environment as this, it is easy to surrender quickly the baggage of the various worlds we come from. These either have no currency here, or they are dealt with through prayer and Godly wisdom. In a sense, they're hung out in the sun for purification and dried of all that is uncomfortable. I painted this not just because it depicts a daily aspect of busy, community, mountain top life, it depicts that we all have stuff we need to hang out on the community lines for a good dose of sun and wind.

Afternoons at the harvest camp were good times to catch up on things: attending to grape stained clothing, easing out the odd thorns from under the skin, sorting out the detritus from the bunkroom floors, catching up with homeward-bound blogs - and, importantly, each day spending some time digging deeper into the Word. In a busy environment, you need a place to do this, and look, here's just the spot! A tree, with glorious shade, tables and benches to sit at, and an unbelievable sense of peace underneath its leafy boughs. Such a blessing!

They say an army marches on its stomach. So too do harvesters. Harvesters endure early hours, difficult terrain, hot, hot days, hard work to be done - all are made easier when fuelled by the amazing, awesome, unbelievably wonderful kitchen crews!!!! Yay!

Mr. Steve Fournier and his family, led by the indefatiguable Kirsten, matched by the laughter and energy and zaniness of all who participated: all set the tone. Food was always on time, plenty of it, great variety and good nourishment. Feeding 150 people from the confines of a converted container ain't easy, but my goodness, did these people do it well. And when the rest of us were catching much needed sleep, the kitchen lights were still burning!

Let's repeat that ovation: "THANK YOU, KITCHEN CREW!"

Is#7 - Humble Hands to the Harvest

Original Watercolour - Gifted

Harvester hands, harvester bodies, harvester feet, harvester hearts: many answered the call, coming from NINE nations. Each gave a lot to be here: annual leave consumed (and more!), considerable funds expended, time taken from other tasks and callings, the comforts of home a distant memory as the 4:30 rise'n'shine call came, exposure to censure and disdain for answering courageously to the unmistakable veracity of the Hayovel call. In 6 weeks of sharing such dedicated and inspiring company, I was much moved to witness deep humility, unstinting service, faith in action, and lives fill to the brim with Godly purpose. What a privilege to paint such hands as these.

Autumn days herald the cooler weather, the skies coloured by a Creator Artist, and a sense of urgency to attend to unfinished tasks. Soon, the rains will come. Exciting! 

Exciting too is to prepare for the Feast of Tabernacles. Late on this afternoon, the truck carrying building materials for our succah arrived at camp. Young men came running from all directions to hasten the unloading. Tomorrow, we would build. During the Feast, we would move our lives into these temporary dwellings, reminding ourselves that the only permanence in our lives is that very same Creator who painted the skies for us.

On this mountain top in Samaria is decanted a heady wine, a vintage of trust and hope and with a bouquet of a new and vibrant future. Though the language of harvester and vintner are working through the understanding and definition of those terms, each understands that on THIS mountaintop stride God's mountain men, trustworthy, honest, walking their talk with integrity and purpose. They are characterised by a belief in God the Almighty, a belief in His Word, a belief that miracle and prophecy are available for all eyes to see, all ears to hear, and for all hearts to be made whole.

This painting depicts the remains of the stand of a believer. On this barren, windswept, rugged Samarian hilltop, a pioneering heart came, saw opportunity, stood in belief, and built! Though it is now deserted, nearby stands the community that grew from this stand. God is moving in these mountains.

Israel's mountain tops: the land is difficult, but not so difficult as the political environment. The sentry post is but a symbol of the building blocks of defensive walls, walls that require sacrifice, determination, humility, persistence, courage and faith, all cemented by an unalienable, historical, God-spoken belief that Israel is God's Chosen Land, held for the return of His Chosen People. I was blessed to see and experience these mountains and those walls, and my paintbrush was engaged to honour the heart of these pioneers.

WHO WALKS ON ELON MOREH?

Contact the artist.

Standing on Elon Moreh is a wonderful experience. From here you have a grand view of a number of Biblical landscapes, including the route taken by the Israelites returning from Egypt all those centuries ago. History lies in every direction.

The view portrayed here looks out over the city of Shechem (Nablus today): in the sunlight to the right lies the Mount of Curses; under the dark shroud of cloud to the left - out of sight - lies the Mount of Blessing. 

And the answer to the question, "Who walks on Elon Moreh?" I'll leave that for you to ponder. Perhaps the answer you come to will stir you as much as the answer I have received. 

RUSH HOUR - Naseby, Otago

RUSH HOUR - Naseby, Otago

Original Watercolour         $325 framed
2017

Naseby is a wonderfully restful little village, nestled under the hills on the northern side of the Maniototo Plains in Otago, New Zealand. Occasional cyclists wend their way there and ... rest, I suppose. Enjoy a quiet walk around "town" or sample a milkshake made by the lovely Marilyn on one of those old fashioned green milk shake machines. Naseby is one of those places that gets under your skin: you keep wanting to go back to see if such genuine peace and quiet is real. 

This sketch, rather loosely based on Naseby's main street, became a completed work rather by accident. I had tried some experimentation with alcohol pushing the paint - it didn't work! Not sure why. I sort of made the decision to dismiss the piece but I never got around to taking it off the board. With a few minutes spare here and there, a little more got added - and added - and yesterday I thought "Why not push it through to completion". I did, and whilst it has some good bits and not so good bits, it does present a nice work for the wall.

Displayed prominently in Selah Gallery, comment is often made that she draws the viewer into immediate and intimate conversation, such is the strength of this portrait. To date it stands as the artist's only portrait, painted at the instigation - and powerful persuasion - of the Holy Spirit.

COMMISSION:
This image of two strong kauri fusing into one, growing out of a nurturing, loving environment, was used as the Wedding Guest Register for one of my children's wedding.  - it worked brilliantly. Guests signed their names in the darker areas of bush using metallic ink pens. Framed, it now furnishes the family home as a beautiful reminder of the wedding and those who attended.

Such paintings will always be original. 

If you have an interest in commissioning a painting for a special occasion, do call.

As of January 2018, all new originals and prints are framed with 2.5mm TruVue Conservation Clear glass unless their description states otherwise.
They are framed in our own studio under exacting quality control
using materials accepted throughout the picture framing industry.

It is possible to buy originals unframed - i.e. carefully removed from their existing frames by our team. A small reduction in price can be requested and considered.
It is also possible to have originals reframed by us in a moulding/matboard of your choosing. The same small reduction in price is offered against the cost of new framing.

All painting prints are reproduced on Hahnemulle conservation grade acid free paper, prepared by Microfilm Digital in Christchurch. Their work is excellent.
Prints are available framed and unframed.

Options:
Paintings can be upgraded to higher quality glass. A quote can be provided for this service.
