Ships in the Port

I thought this ship had a reasonably interesting name... Fortune Hero!

About Us

Our aim
* To hone our travel sketching skills, by sketching around Taranaki
* To remove limitations on our drawing
* To provide encouragement, camaraderie and generally have fun.

Our philosophy:
* Owe no loyalty to a mark just because it is on a page
* Our heads are looking up more than down
* We like to trap light
* Seek a dash of 'care-free'
* Sketch to express & appreciate
* It is finished when you have 'said it' or the enjoyment goes

Our group has formed by word of mouth, with the only criteria being enthusiam for sketching.

TARANAKI is a province of New Zealand, half way up the North Island, the bump on the left. We live in and near New Plymouth, looking out on a splendid dormant volcano - Mt Taranaki. Jul is our Bay Of Plenty 'Foreign Correspondent'.
