The energy of these lovely old trees is described in warm siennas. Macrocarpa so much a part of the Manawatu rural scene.
This painting is inspired by the paddock on the right at the Te Matai Road end of the Manawatu River walkway.
The colours are as I saw them, vivid and vital.... typical of a Manawatu summer.
A peaceful painting describing early mornings on the Manawatu River walkway ... the best time of day.
I call this ‘a painted sketch’. Briefly drawn Plein Air on the way up the Pohangina.
It has the energy and honesty that always look for in my work.
Fabulous warm tones complete this beautifully lit composition. A joy to paint.
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.
Originally this painting started as plien air. I find the West Coast inspirational. Particularly the Nikau Palms and small clearings dotted with cows.
Just had to paint this during the New Zealand Christmas vacation. After all it is our Christmas tree.
Sunlight, transparency, stones in the water are always fascinating and challenging. This work is particularly peaceful and descriptive of the Tiritea stream.
This work takes you on one of my regular beach escapes to Himitangi. The colours are underpinned with the warmth of rose madder and red golds.
A softly washed and glazed painting, of the view on the right just after Vinegar Hill.
