Athol, a member of our Tōtara Club in Nelson, found renewed inspiration for painting after seven years of creative block that dampened his enthusiasm.
He attributes his resurgence to the vibrant atmosphere and laughter at Tōtara Club, which has reignited his passion for art. Athol often expresses his joy in attending the club, relishing the stimulating environment and camaraderie.
His recent paintings beautifully capture the landscapes of Central Otago and the Otago Peninsula, reflecting his newfound creativity and appreciation for the world around him.
