this is a digitally worked preliminary design of the artwork

Also Sold

A knife work, "Lazy Summer", typical NZ Beach grasses in the foreground...

42nd St Completed and sold

Completed using a knife, my favourite painting tool, this was a commissioned painting. I think I am improving! this was my second painting of this scene, with a different crop.

I worked hard to create harmony and rythym with the colour balance.

SOLD

another one sold this month, a painting using my own unique "Pastel Palette", pastel in colour not medium, this one is created using a painting knife and acrylic.

This painting show my favourite wildflower, a beach daisy with incredibly intense purple petals and bright yellow centre. Accompanied by it's sister version daisy, a bright yellow with yellow centre.

Huge Rimu

Here is Graeme with a very tall Rimu (NZ Red Pine), in a forest of beautiful Totara and Ponga(tree Fern)in the breathtaking central plateau mountain region. This was part of a 2 hour walk - lovely...

The Whakapapa River flows here.

My latest acrylic painting, Ruapehu Reflections. Taken on the Silica Rapids walk, on a VERY cold day. The alpine scenery is amazing. If you are interested in buying any of my artwork, go to my website. www wildartnz.co.nz. I look forward to talking with you. :)

Here is the beautiful Silica Rapids walk, in the Ruapehu area, and our unique alpine flora with snow! I also have some NZ Bush pics with snow scattered about, which I have never seen before, usually NZ Bush is just wet!
I love NZ with snow because there is still so much colour - pinks ,greens, yellows.
Connection here sometimes poor hence the gap in posting.
I am loveing the alpine environment in winter. We have a nice warm lodge to live in, so we don't mind the cold. I actually like wrapping up in scarf and woollies!!
Time for art after this week, we have been very busy over the holidays..
