Veiled (On display)
Today I am the very proud wife - Andrew's photography is now on display at Aratoi - our local art centre - gallery in Masterton. He has put himself out there - asked for the space - and a year later he is exhibiting his fine collection of landscapes - Outlook - Observations from within a 50m circle of our house.

The work looks awesome - finally printed off the computer - large - matted and framed and on a wall ! It has been fun - stimulating - challenging to talk about his photographs over time - and to be part of the process of having an exhibition.
Being very ignorant about how these things work - we have taken a few stabs in the predawn light ??!! and are hoping it will have put us on the pathway to developing a career and a business opportunity.
Obscured by Clouds(On display)
Andrew has worked incredibly hard at developing his art over the last year and a half, (and for a long while before that pre digital). He now has a huge collection which can be seen on his pbase web page. www.pbase.com/tikouka This is an overwhelming amount of photography but we hope we will in the near future put together a web page where a more select range can be viewed and ....... enjoyed and .... added to your own collections !

The opening itself was another totally new experience having never been to any others. Who do we invite ? How long do they go for ? What happens at them ? And with two small children in tow I had no idea what was in store.
However it was a lovely time - too short for me entirely - to talk to all of our fabulous friends who made the effort to come out - to talk proudly about Andrew's work - to take photos of the event - and to keep a track of our kiddliwinks.

Big thanks to Shari, Ali, Hannah and Esther who did end up jiggling and entertaining the kids so I could have some good adults conversations.
Anika then headed away with 'best friend' Olivia for the night - she was in heaven. The rest of us headed down to the great atmosphere of the Carterton Lounge Bar for tapas, relaxation and quality chat. We managed to score the couches so Hazel was able to spend some of the evening sound asleep on a comfy couch next to her mum.

So yes .... we had a night out - and lovely food and a glass of wine and live music in the background and real adult conversations - we didn't get home til midnight ... oh my gosh ... it must be a first in many years.
