Whangapoua
is on the East Coast of the Coromandel Peninsula, a few hours drive
from Auckland City.
A few years ago I came across a little note
pad which had on it a picture of a particularly outstanding coastal
scene. Immediately I recognised it as something I would love
to paint and so, through one or two leads, managed to get hold of the
photographer who very happily gave me permission to use it as the
basis for a new work.
To get our own feel for the place,
as well as back-up photo material, Judith and I took a drive down to
Whangapoua, where we slept a few hours in the car next to the beach
waiting for the sun to come up. In the early morning light the place
was absolutely magical. Just being there was a treat.
The purpose of this painting is to
capture that sense of "getting away from it all" so that, wherever it
is hanging, at home or in the office, the viewer can have a break from
day to day living.
"Whangapoua Dawn" has been
released as a limited edition of one hundred signed giclée
reproductions on canvas. The quality of
these reproductions is so high as to be virtually
indistinguishable
from the original and have a lab tested shelf life of a hundred years
plus.
