The weekend was very successful for the whole family. Matt was the MC on the main stage and did a wonderful job, defiantly in his element.

It was a lovely sunny day in White Rock and I was looking out onto our sprouting garden. So much lively activity happening. I watched our little Chihuahua, <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Zoro</span>, chasing a magical white butterfly and was thinking from <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Zoro's</span> perspective, what a wonderful sight it must be. I've been drawn to the butterfly recently, I'm always adding new works to my Metamorphosis Series. This time I had visions of flowing hair against a stark background and the only real vibrant colours coming from the ever so fascinating butterfly! From this, Madame Butterfly was born.</span></div><br />
