Painting Fundraiser Raffle
Want this painting for only $25?!
You can help me raise funds for the Auckland floods and Cyclone Gabrielle response, by purchasing raffle tickets for the sale of this painting!
Hearing about the devastation that is still unfolding from these recent weather events is heartbreaking, and I want to do my part.
I was planning a silent auction instead but like this idea better as more of you can be involved in giving to support our neighbours, friends and family.
DETAILS:
🍂 Each ticket is $25 NZD.
🍂 All proceeds minus the cost of professional packaging & shipping to the winner will be donated to Red Cross.
🍂 To enter please visit my art page on Facebook or Instagram- Rosanne Croucher Art, and message me your name, email address, and number of tickets you want, so I can send through payment details.
🍂 Winner will be drawn on Friday night the 24th February
🍂 The painting will be shipped the following week and I’ll pop a screenshot of the donation confirmation email up on my stories.
🍂 This painting is called Spirited, and is one of my early large landscape works. Oils on canvas, 1m x 1m in size. Based on a windy autumn day scene in Te Anau, New Zealand.
Please share this with family and friends so we can raise as much money as possible ($2700 raised so far!), and good luck for the draw!!
Leaving Neighbourly
Hey everyone, just a quick note to say I’m leaving Neighbourly. I joined because I thought it would be a good way to connect with people in the community, especially the older generation, and to receive advice, help, and shared knowledge.
Over time I’ve made quite a few posts genuinely looking for help or guidance, and unfortunately I’ve rarely received any responses. Most of the time it’s just one or two likes and no actual comments or help, which gets pretty discouraging after a while.
I understand people are busy, but when you consistently put things out there and hear almost nothing back, it starts to feel like there’s no real point in being part of the platform. Because of that, I’ve decided it’s best for me to move on.
No hard feelings — just not the right fit for me. Wishing everyone all the best.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
