Richard Ponder Birthday Exhibition 5-21 September 2015

Richard Ponder is pleased to announce an exhibition showcasing his recent works. Ranging from abstract, to impressionistic, to traditional, Richard's works are famous for their colour and flair. Some are even from his private collection of favourites, as he will be moving into his new house soon. Come and see the new gallery, now it is so near to completion, it's looking amazing. 

The exhibition of Richard Ponder original art will run from 5-21 September 2015, for enquiries ring 04 562 8062, or check out more of Richard's work online at www.ronagallery.co.nz Richard's page here at http://www.ronagallery.co.nz/Richard_Ponder

This beautiful painting is part of the exhibition currently on display at Rona Gallery, along with many other paintings by Richard Ponder and other artists.

Rona Gallery is also home to Richard Ponder's art studio, he recently finished the painting below

And he is currently working on this painting

Richard Ponder tends to not stay in one style for long, switching between flowers and nature and the city to more abstract works. 

Next post will be about landscapes!

Exhibition: Moving House Sept 22 - Oct 7 2012

I've been busy sorting out paintings, with a view to moving in the nearish future.

What that has done is allow me to look through much of my work and provide a near retrospective of work  thoughout my decades of painting. 

Love to see you at the gallery, I'll be around over Sat 22nd and Sun 23rd of September to talk about the development of my art and my plans for the future.
 

Cheers, 

Richard

New Exhibition - Cornucopia with Paul Tait

I

Paul Tait and my Exhibition "Cornucopia" is up at Rona until 30 October, come along.  Or if that is impossible, you can get a small taste of some of the paintings here on the Rona Gallery website.

Paul Tait, is a technically brilliant artist who first began showing his work in Texas.  His style is somehting he has worked hard to develop, and although it has been influenced by surrealism and superflat, it can best be described by the term "Taitism."  More about Paul Tait here - enjoy!

My Splatter exhibition has some unusual guests. Splatter is not new for me but it is a development of my unique style

My Splatter exhibition caused quite a stir.  Two unexpected guests turned up in the form of Peter Rabbit and Spot the Dog.  Mrs Rabbit shoed them away eventually, so they

wouldn't be too tired for story time later.

10 years anniversary for Rona Gallery and Silent Auction of Iconic "My Bay"

As part of the birthday celebrations
My original painting, “At The Bay” has become an iconic picture of Eastbourne, originally the title was as an homage to Katherine Mansfield’s short story “At The Bay.”

“My Bay” also shows a naive view of Days Bay, full of life and fun and many of the activities that make Days Bay Wellingtons favourite beach destination.

Check it out tomorrow 
come to "Splatter" exhibition opening at 11 o'clock
or ring us on 
04 562 8062 for your opportunity to bid.

Cheers Richard 

Four days to go and I'm absolutely flat out trying to organise the "brother's exhibition," and I hear that Michael at long last is painting furiously -- even though he has shingles!
