My grandfather a young child in the 1920s, rode to and fro on his pony. NZ children often did in country schools in the 1920s through to the 1950s. "Under the Hood" I am stoked that my artwork “Solace” was included in the Impressions National Art Awards Exhibition and received the win for the inaugural “Best Pastel Painting”.
