painting


painting, originally uploaded by Lester Ralph Blair.

I was looking at this mural, painted without any pretence, just a freedom and enthusiasm. I like the big fiery sun, I used to live in New Plymouth, and there the sun did sink over the ocean, here in Wellington it rises above hills and goes down over hills. I stood up on my toes so that Mt Victoria and St Gerard's Monastery would sit on top of the painting, I managed to get myself into the photograph as well.
