Thoughts on feelings… May 17, 2010

Anger

SHAPES: I used fire because sometimes when you get really angry you feel like going on fire. I used a cross bone because pirates have them on their flags and pirates are usually angry. I put smoke on my picture because fire makes smoke when it is hot.
COLOURS: I used orange because that is the colour of fire. I made my smoke grey because normally that is the colour of smoke. I used white for the bones because that is the colour of bones.

Fear

I used a square because, squares are a simple and you can turn them into anything you want to, like I did I turned it into a scary shape.
I used black and grey because they make you feel bad and when you are scared you feel bad they are also dark colours, I used white because it shows that there is a way out and there is a little light.

InvasiON

Shapes. I choose the eye because it makes you feel like someone is watching you. Sometimes you also feel scared or invaded.
Colours. I choose to make the eye blue because it looks nice and helps it give you the feeling of being invaded. I used the colours of a real eye to make it more realistic.

Wine Tasting event May 14, 2010

Why is it that many of the world’s critics view Riesling as the greatest white wine grape? Indeed, some will just say it is the greatest wine grape of any colour.  

The chameleon character of Riesling is not easy to understand, many of its most famous wines have names so indecipherable that even the brave will run in fear from pronunciation. 

But it is the greatest food wine on earth. 

And without doubt it is the most versatile grape there is.

In a global journey comparing some of the foremost Rieslings in the world with New Zealand’s finest, we will hope to convert you to the cause. The tasting will be hosted by Nigel Greening, owner of Felton Road wines.

Some rare and valuable bottles will be opened, matched to four delicious courses of food from “Panini Noir”: Felton Road’s exclusive kitchen.

Friday 21st MAY 2010, at The Venue, Orchard Road Wanaka. 6.30pm – 8.30pm 

Tickets $100. Proceeds go to the Star programme at Wanaka Primary School. 

There is a strict limit of 32 guests. Only 7 tickets left ; From Wanaka Fine Wines
