Tronson du Coudray desk top art 'Pale Green Images'
Every month for the Tweed Heads Chamber of Commerce business car-draw I have now for many years presented a desk top art work and they have been well received. Desk top art works are small in nature, that sit on an executive's or a corporate desk and has a significance to that person and highly appreciative.
Some years ago now, in 2014 I presented four 'desk top' art works to the New Zealand young writers from the 2013 Basil Sellers Young Writers winners from the year before.
This was in 2014 at the Wellington young writer's conference with Major Christina Tyson the Editor of War Cry New Zealand and one of the New Zealand Panellists for the young writers who did the honours in presenting these awards.
Winners from 2013 September conference in Melbourne at the annual Young Writers Awards Conference as determined by seven international Panellists were Daniel Jang (Wellington), Sam Burrows (Auckland – Theology Award) and equal second place, Casey Murray (Auckland) and Sophia Sinclair (Christchurch).
The 'desk top' art works by Tronson du Coudray fitted into luggage from Australia for the occasion and were specifically painted for the occasion.
- Daniel Jang'spresented art work titled Trinity is a reflection of Daniel's article on that subject last year which scored one of the highest readerships in Christian Today for 2013. That article was titled The greatest mystery of Christianity.
