All the colours of the rainbow – my day of pure colour indulgence.

I’m not sure I really need an excuse to use pure, bold colour in my work. I have always loved the vibrancy and energy of bold colour and today it really called to me. Here are a series of small works based on the New Zealand landscape.

Awana Beach
Foxton Estuary
Wild Flowers – Ranges
Through the Hydrangea Bush
