This one originally created by Charles Goldie in 1902 shows her traditional facial moko and smoking a pipe. He painted 17 more portraits of this Ngapuhi Chieftainess and from 1902 until 1941 Goldie continued to immortalise the images of Maori Elders. His work is featured in several New Zealand art museums.
How has your weekend been so far? As usual I've spent my Saturday and Sunday at work and I'm loving being able to spend alot of that time outside in the garden centre that employs me. Earlier this week I spent one day cleaning our fishing rods, they were quite dirty and the rods were sticking and not running smoothly.
I also made the boys a kiwi Pavlova which didn't last long and we have been planning our holiday next year to Napier by thinking about places we would like to visit along the way.
Arohanui to you.
Linking up with Mural Monday
