Urban Sketchers 10th anniversary


Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Urban sketchers network.
We participated, and due to the date line round the world, Auckland kicked things off by going first!
I helped out as well, by volunteering to be the Instagram Oceania correspondent, and uploading sketches from a dozen cities. And then I could sit back and watch the rest of the world's sketchers as they uploaded their efforts - great fun!
My favourite brush pen from Japan, and my favouritebag made in NZ by Cactus

Pōkarekare ana

Pōkarekare ana

Pōkarekare ana
ngā wai o Waiapu,
Whiti atu koe hine
marino ana e.

E hine e
hoki mai ra.
Ka mate ahau
I te aroha e.

Tuhituhi taku reta
tuku atu taku rīngi,
Kia kite tō iwi
raru raru ana e.

Whati whati taku pene
ka pau aku pepa,
Ko taku aroha
mau tonu ana e.

E kore te aroha
e maroke i te rā,
Mākūkū tonu i
aku roimata e.
