I'm 80...now What?

Jane Evans is one of New Zealand's most successful artists. Her exuberant, colorful paintings attract collectors from around the world, and she has a waiting list of buyers for every work she creates.  She has held sell-out exhibitions and seen her paintings auctioned for record prices.    But this success has not been easily achieved.  At the age of eighteen, Jane Evans contracted systemic lupus erythematosus, a crippling and chronically painful condition, which affects the joints and the muscles surrounding them.     As John Coley recounts in this lively biography, Jane Evans kept her condition from the public for many years and has refused to let it interfere with her passion for painting and her enjoyment of a full and richly experienced life.  As well as painting, she has also renovated two homes and created two gardens and traveled widely.    Superbly illustrated with over 100 reproductions of her works, more than 80 photographs by Lloyd Park of her home, garden and studio and brimming with the glorious color for which Jane Evans is famous, this book is a fitting tribute, visually and in words, to one of New Zealand's best-loved artists.

while it's normally paramount to keep the mind totally devoid of distractions during the game, I had achieved the exact opposite. I'd kept my mind totally devoid of golf It's the club championship final. Eighteen holes played, eighteen to go and it's all square. But for Peter Christie this is not just any game of golf. It is the culmination of a six-week campaign to justify his need to play. And he should not even be there. It is his wedding anniversary. Needles to say, his concentration is not what it should be. Instead of seeing his ball, all he can see is his wife, Helen. And if this isn't bad enough, he is pitted in the match against Terry, a conniving, obnoxious bore. Golf without Guilt is a very funny and absorbing analysis of human foibles, played out over eighteen holes. This is the game from hell because Peter is not just playing for the club championship, he is playing for his marriage and for his own sanity. Martin O'Connor has written the definitive exploration of the golf fanatic's mind. What makes an addict tick? What is it like to live with one? What is it like to play like one? What is it like to play like one? What is it like to be continually 'misunderstood.? And ultimately, as Peter Christie asks himself, "Will I ever be able to play golf without guilt?" This is the book for every husband who loves golf and every wife who can't understand why. It is eighteen holes in the life of a married golfer.

Jodi Harper Nute became the model for the project. We felt very lucky to be able to work with her because of her background, ability, and beauty. At the time she was very busy creating the Avalanche Café in Silverton and now she is married and she and Chris are about to have their second child. Jodi graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1992 with a degree in Biological Aspects of Conservation, a course created by Aldo Leopold. When we began this project she had already been studying Tai Chi with Dolores for several years. Participating in the photographs over the course of four seasons involving these three very diverse people was a special time that will always be cherished but will never happen again. John Marshall became involved in this complex project through a simple conversation with his neighbor across the street, Dolores. He had the jeep and the knowledge of special places in the surrounding mountains. The difficulty of getting three people who had no spare time together in remote spots high in the mountains, all above 9,000 ft, sometimes over 13,000 ft, with the right weather, the right light and the right film was close to overwhelming. Sometimes it worked. "If I just could have had three cameras and two assistants and redone every other session, life would have been beautiful." Camera 35mm Nikkormat, lenses Nikon, film Fuji.
