Former student Jack McDonald has an entry in a national art competition run by Fonterra. #431AM Rural Artist of the Year.

Our farmers are up at #431AM getting the country started but that is not all that they get up to. For many they also capture their environment on canvas and through the lens of a camera.
We want to recognise and celebrate our rural artists who capture the environment where we live, work and play.
Kurow Corner

This acrylic painting is by New Zealand artist Jack Magnus McDonald. Jack was raised on a dairy farm in Ashburton, studied in Christchurch and now works in Wellington. Having spent the last 5 years in cities, Jack always enjoys returning to the wide open spaces of the farm when he gets the chance although his father Mark would tell you that Jack is a useless farmer. Jack tends to disagree with his dad on this point. The painting is of a quite rural corner near Kurow.
