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.

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..

Craggy Range




here is the mighty Tuki Tuki River, with the awesome Craggy Range. The sea in the very top background is the Pacific ocean(Hawke's Bay) Right in front of me here was a sheer drop, very far down!!!!! :o
We have just left this area and are on our way in a week to the Alpine Plateau, where Mt Ruapehu is. Soon I will be posting some wonderful pics of this mountain. Thanks to the Mitchells for their hospitality.....
