Wine And Cheese-With Oil

Oil paintings that is! More than 200 people attended a wine and cheese evening and an exhibition of oil paintings by artist Carol Hacche at the Rick-stan Home Improvement Centre. The money raised from the function was donated to the Gisborne Branch of the Plunket Society. The paintings, most of which were scenes of the Gisborne district, attracted much favourable comment. The price tags are most reasonable too, considering the artist's technique and flair for colour use.

Pictured at the function are Carol Hacche and her husband, Mr D. Larson, with Mrs Margaret Francis, president of the Plunket Society.

Monochrome printing does not do justice to this seascape "Passing Storm". It carries a tag of $75 and its location is Pouawa.

"In Passing By" is a scene from the Tauwhareparae area and is priced at $45.

"Submissive Sea,"painted at Wainui, has beautiful colouring but has been sold already

"Late Afternoon", painted along Tucker Road, is priced at $70

"On A Clear Day" {left), painted in the Coromandel area, and "Illumination"painted along Cameron Road, look well hung at the Centre. "On A Clear Day" is $60, but "Illumination", with its beautiful muted shades of gold and brown, has been sold.

From the Thames area is "Summer Holiday", priced at $55

At $35 is "Arriving Home", also taken from Tucker Road
