I wish to acknowledge the friendship and mentoring of Vjekoslav Nemesh. His ongoing caring support and encouragement has kept me on track.
Here are two paintings that we have worked on together.

| Heart and Soul | Just Walking |
The first is Heart and Soul. This painting was done in art class when I was very much a beginner. I am responsible for the top and bottom and he the centre. I remember struggling with the middle area and getting more and more into a murky mess and magically he pulled it back from becoming a complete disaster.
The second was done last year as part of an experiment for the exhibition we had in the NZ Steel Gallery at Pukekohe. We each gave the other a few half finished canvases to complete. I seem to recall that it was my idea and at first Vjekoslav was more than happy to complete my canvases but not so sure about me completing his!
Just walking is an example of one that I completed. Interconnection, below is one Nemesh completed.
