Fabulous warm tones complete this beautifully lit composition. A joy to paint.
Plien Air painted on site on a beuatiful day down at the Manawatu River.
This work uses scarffito to draw the image prior to applying layering acrylics wash and glaze.The work was drawn on site near the tank on the hill above the Reserve cliffs. With Totara Reserve in the left for ground. The river is the Pohangina.
Macrocarpa trees are so much a part of the Manawatu. Old shelter belts continue to line the plain. I love them for their character, shadows and cast light, and have painted them continually.
Originally this painting started as plien air. I find the West Coast inspirational. Particularly the Nikau Palms and small clearings dotted with cows.
The light sparkles off the willows and poplars. This painting began in the field, (plein air).
Warm gentle and easy to live with
Towards the Arawata, West Coast of NZ. I have a friend living at Haast, one of the most beautiful places in New Zealand accessing the relatively undiscovered rough rivers and dense New Zealand bush. A wonderful place to paint.
