You might also remember that this was one of the earliest acrylic paintings which the author did and which now hangs in our living room. Since I took a trip to South Africa, it seems that I really cannot turn my back and something dramatic happens!!! In the couple of weeks that I was away from New Zealand, there was a fairly dramatic and major earthquake in our immediate vicinity and this beautiful arch at Waverley Beach is no more.
I was really quite disbelieving about it, so we took a Sunday drive and went to see for ourselves - the arch is gone. I think I am glad about two things - one, I did the painting when I did, and two, that I didn't take a walk along the top of that arch, since I had absolutely no idea that there was even a smidgen of a possibility that it could all come crashing down! Dis al!
