VIDEO APPRAISAL OF FINISHED PAINTING'Rain-Drop Dreaming' is much more than just my latest painting. It's a testament to and record of an extraordinary sequence of events occurring on the south island of New Zealand early in January of this year. It's a symbol of enlightened awareness of the astonishingly ignorant and brutal treatment of stranded cetaceans in '100% Clean and Green New Zealand', of progress towards renavigating the human response to these occurrences and attenuating anthropogenic causation; it's the result of mutual support and true 'community' that characterizes the New Zealand I've come to know and love since I first arrived on Valentine's Day 2000.
What this painting's really about, however, is water.
