Candy on a Beach


How I LOVE walking my dog on the beach. Tim Shadbolt (wonderful Invercargil Mayor) once mused to me that the beach is a place of negative ions and is thus a great place for 'letting go'. I was down on the waters edge a few days ago laughing at the confederation of happy dogs that appeared out of nowhere, when I got chatting to a fellow dog walker on Tahuna Beach. It turned out that her name was Candy Clarke and she's an artist. I checked out her site and fell in love with her self-described 'post-modern pop' style. I love her strong, bold colour; her use of words and her familiar subjects. Some of her work just seemed MADE for Happyzine!
