Don Donovan's World - A Barn In Korere Valley

Ramblings of a much published New Zealand author

Leaves From My Sketchbooks. 16. A Barn In Korere Valley

I sat in my car in the rain and drew this subject on State Highway 6, south of Nelson. I liked it so much that I moved the car a bit, wiped the condensation off the windscreen and drew it again.

As anybody who goes sketching will know, the appraisal, the sizing up, the scratch on the paper are so absorbing that nothing else can penetrate the mind; no worries, just perfect peace. I recommend it.

My Mum was a cook at the Korere pub some time in the 40's I think - perhaps this is the old pub?

I have visited this barn and found it very beneficial for the reference of books.
