My way of celebrating part of Matariki this year was to coast around the neighbourhood on my bike until I found something interesting to sketch. The perfect way to spend a public holiday I reckon! For some reason this pretty typical Grey Lynn street caught the eye but I soon realised it felt restricted on the page – so I tore another page out of the sketchbook (I never do that!) and tacked it on the side. The result gives a much better idea of what the streets around here look like...
There are great views from Bluff Hill over the port of Napier. It's not a big port, but it's busy as - they turn these babies around in no time. Surprisingly interesting to watch too. I caught the Tasman Endeavour as the last containers were loaded and two tugs came to take her away.
