Naseby artist

 

 

Jane Whitaker

My attachment with the landscapes of the moors and wild places of northern Britain, rekindled by the raw tussock lands of the Maniototo, give me, despite being a newcomer, a feeling of connectedness with this land. A few years ago, after moving to Naseby, I discovered a watercolour drawing by Rita Angus, entitled: “Sketch for Central Otago (Naseby) 1953.” This was clearly sketched from the lower Kyeburn Diggings and shows Mt Kyeburn in the background. The mountain is unchanged – it could have been sketched today - apart from the passing of clouds and seasons. I felt, on seeing this painting, a delightful feeling of recognition and belonging: an anchor-point of familiarity. For me this is one of the many pleasures of art in general and, perhaps, landscape paintings in particular, and one I work to realize in my paintings.
