Perfect brushwork wins painting award

Tauranga painters have been recognised as among the country's best.
Clifton George, of Authentic Finishings, brushed off stiff competition at the New Zealand Master Painter of the Year Awards to be announced the joint winner of Residential Dwelling New Interior Under $25,000 award.
Mr George won the award for his work on a Mount Maunganui home.
Murray Gray, from sponsoring company Dulux and one of the award's judges, said the work had been "flawless".
"This was a lovely project completed by a highly skilled craftsman.
"The home was decorated in natural tones and the brushwork around the doors and frames was immaculate."
Another local company, GMR Holmac won the Specialty/Industrial Coatings award for their work on Papamoa College, which the judges said was "an unusually shaped building with a lot of intricate steelwork".
