Ophir Post Office Central Otago NZ
The quaint Post Office in the tiny town of Ophir in Central Otago in New Zealand was shouting at me to paint it. I could not resist adding the two lady residents I imagined exchanging some gossip. Ophir holds the dubious record of the lowest temperature ever recorded in New Zealand.

Artist Statement
for Ron Esplin
for Ron Esplin
Ron has had a lifetime exposure to art as both his late father Tom, and his brother Clark were painters, jointly referring to their involvement in art activities as “The family Firm.”
As soon as he could hold a pencil, Ron was drawing , and he was soon in demand at school doing posters and stage sets for school productions. He continued to paint recreationally, attending evening classes at Otago Polytechnic Art School before embarking in 1995 on a serious effort to develop his painting.
Watercolour Painting
Ron has a studio in central Dunedin where he paints in acrylics and oils, and of course he has continued to develop his watercolour painting.
An Artist Member and former Council member of The Otago Art Society, Ron has also served as a member of the Council of the Dunedin Public Art Gallery Society.
He exhibits regularly in Dunedin, and has also had work exhibited in Otaru in Japan. Ron is also represented in the Dunedin City Council art collection and in the prestigious Forrester Gallery in Oamaru.
