I visited the wonderful new Auckland Art Gallery recently, and a small painting of a black-haired, heavy-lidded girl caught my eye. Called Lizette (first image), it was painted by Christchurch born artist Raymond McIntyre, who clearly had a penchant for moody brunettes and melancholy - apparently, according to an artist who shared a studio, "in the intervals of dabbling masterpieces on canvas, he sobs out his soul on the sorrowful 'cello.'"
