New work
2m X 1m is the size of the new painting that I have been working on for the last few weeks. It’s always a treat to work at such a large scale.
Raglan Range Beyond the Tarn
Follow the St Arnaud ridge along until you come across a group of tarns nestled in a sheltered basin above Rough Creek. Here there are are expansive views to the east towards the Raglan Range.
Back of Beyond
Here is 'Back of Beyond', emerging over the final ridge before plunging down into the Arnst River valley you come across what seems like paradise.
Lull of the Tide
A long time in the works, but here it is, finally finished: Lull of the Tide, Ōrākei, Auckland.
Featuring six of the iconic boat sheds and two moorings, the painting is a serene depiction of the boat sheds on a calm day.
High Country Dawn
Been working out what will be going on this year. Looks like "High Country Dawn" will be my last available new painting for 2021. For those of you who haven’t seen this one, here it is.
Studio news
Been slaving away at the easel for the past few weeks. Doing a lot of fine detail work on a couple of paintings. Looking forward to finishing them.
Riordans Hut
Getting to the trail a little later in the day than expected turned out rather well, the sun had lost it’s heat and started to drop behind the hills. I was hoping to ride my bike in to Riordans Hut in the Kahurangi National Park, and figured if I didn’t mess around I’d get there just before dark.
Ōrākei Boatsheds
Been delving into the fine detail in this scene of the Ōrākei Boatsheds this week. This one has been in progress for quite some time now...
Rainbow/ Molesworth Stations
Riding the bike through the Rainbow/Molesworth Stations recently I came to the Coldwater Creek campsite where I met a lady with two horses and not much else on a journey from the top of the South Island to the bottom.
