Artist Talk on Caravaggio
Artist Talk on Caravaggio as part of a relaxed ‘Cafe Style’ Church service this Sunday at 10.30, Helensville Community Church, 40 Mill Road. Refreshments are available throughout the service at no cost and questions are welcomed throughout the powerpoint talk. Presenter, blacksmith Chris Ellwood, is both professional and personable in his presentation, combining information, warmth and humour throughout. Caravaggio was a genius who loved the life of a wealthy young man in a big city. His art was bright and flamboyant. His pictures were the toast of the town, and it seemed that nothing could taint his fame. Then this rash, gifted and passionate young man made a big mistake, and a man was killed. On the run, Caravaggio is confronted by his mortality and begins to reassess his life.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
