Love going to this distinctive rock at Great Barrier. Walked behind it at low tide for the first time this year..which will become a future painting....the whole area is stunning. Love it over there.

Love this beach...can't wait to get back there this summer. Always seems to be perfect surf rolling in.

Bet this crib near Takaka has seen lots of amazing family holidays over the years. It is actually a red brown colour in real life but I love turquoise so bit of artistic license here. It will eventually be pulled down as on DOC land.

North of Takakaka tucked away is this lovely little harbour. We were stoked to stumble across this place in our exploration while at the Nelson art expo.

Beautiful little handcrafted (i think) boat at Otauhu Bay on the Coromandel. Just waiting to head out on a sailing trip "Else" is on stand by. Love the rustic structures she is tied up to

One of my fav beaches and possibly most painted (along with Awana on Great Barrier Island). The colours at this beach are always stunning with crystal clear water.
