This painting was accepted for the Adam Portraiture Award and was on show at Shed 11, Queen’s Wharf, Wellington Waterfront. It shows a Murray Grey Stud farmer with one of his breeding cows standing behind him. He is painted on location, in a typical Southland landscape of green paddocks lined with 100 year old macrocarpas. The farmer is wearing his highly valued, prize winning A & P show medal but still remembering the spirit of the stud.
