it always takes a few days to get into a new landscape – its landmarks, the light and the local stories/ i nga ra o mua. What an amazing coastline and beautiful Moutohora / Whale Island. Painting on location means you have to be on location so with trusty ironing board I will travel. Unfortunately due to heavy swells not to White Island this time… My paintings from this area are available from ‘Art & Acre’ artandacre@xtra.co.nz
