he third in a series of four paintings of New Zealand gamefish,
"Broadie Dawn" is a study of a broadbill dancing in the early
morning light.
Setting the scene is one of the most historically famous of all New Zealand gamefishing boats, the "Lady Doreen".
Snooks was in fact the first fisherman in the Bay of Islands to catch a
broadbill since Zane Grey, some thirty-eight years earlier.
Most fishermen targeting broadbill these days go after them at night for
better results, but in those early days the first three or so ever
caught by Snooks were actually hooked and landed in broad daylight and
not very far off shore either.
"Broadie
Dawn" is a watercolour painting reproduced as a limited edition
of 500 prints using light resistant inks on archival quality paper. Each
print is individually numbered and signed. Completing the presentation
is a a charcoal blue-black timber frame, with glass and an off-white
double mat-board.
