Today's picture is Central Otago Landscape (1940) by Rita Angus, one of NZ's best known artists. With its many deciduous trees which turn orange-gold in April and May, matching the yellow-brown grassland, it is a lovely area to be in.
For a few years our Wellington office was a few doors up the street from Rita Angus's house at the corner of Sydney Street and Ascot Street, and our next door neighbour was the late composer Douglas Lilburn.
