About the Work
I
really
enjoy
the
boldness
of
the
shapes
and
colours
in
this
work
and
the
different
light
in
the
two
larger
panels
-
the
contours
of
our
landscapes
and
the
quality
of
light
speak
to
me
in
this
work.
There
is
a
slightly
personal
connection
here
too.
I
was
lucky
to
meet
Michael
Smither
in
1976
while
I
was
in
Wellington
doing
some
recordings
at
the
beautiful
studios
of
the
now
vanished
Broadcasting
House.
He
was
as
vibrant
a
personality
as
his
painting
suggests.
