Grandfathers Dream

Where it all started.

Time for a smoke

Inspiration for this painting came from a rodeo at Winchester where one of the cowboys was leaning on the fence and rolling a cigarette

Memory Lane

Join me next week while I attempt to retrace my steps along memory lane.

Twenty years ago I visited many of the villages and small towns of the central South Island of New Zealand. While on these jaunts, I sketched in watercolour much of the local history and wrote of the colour and of the characters. Over several years I portrayed between 500 and 600 subjects, all of which held an interest for me.

So why don't you accompany me on another one of these little jaunts while I take you all on picturesque journey into the past, and each week we will attempt to update our blog.

Feel free to comment as we amble along.

Book launch and reading session.

Well, we had quite a successful launch last night, the 17th November, at the Timaru Library. There was obviously quite a lot of interest. I ended up not reading much of the book at all, but decribing how the book began and how each particular story originated.

Helen made a magnificent light supper for those who attended, and all seemed to enjoy themselves.

We all had some good old belly laughs, and I guess that is what the book is all about really.

About Me

noel guthrie: I am a New Zealand artist and author, both of these activities have become a passion of mine, just for the sheer enjoyment it brings. I was 52 years old before I was encouraged to take up art. Never having touched an artists brush or pencil in my life, it was a terriying prospect. I attempted pencil sketching to begin with before having a go at watercolour sketching. Within twelve months, I was offered a weekly spot in a local daily newspaper, providing I could write an accompanying story. Now, I could not string two words together, let alone a story. During the following twelve months, I began freelancing to several other newspapers, some of which continued for many years. Since that time, I have published five non-fiction books of local historical interest, with another non-fiction due to be released later in 2011. My seventh book, a short story humorous fiction, is due to be published very shortly, 2011. These days, I reside in the seaside city of Timaru, in the South Island of NZ, with my wife Helen, of 50 years. As time goes by, I hope to share some of my stories and artwork with you all.
