'Mowhanau', 1998. Mowhanau Beach is a fifteen minute drive north of Wanganui where two small rivers flow into the sea beside small cliffs. It was a place that featured often in my work during my last year of art school. This image is from an old slide.

Detail of Falconet's 'Menacing Cupid', pencil on paper, 2010. Dark photo due to crappy weather but this needs a little more work anyway.

Detail from Bernini's 'The Ecstasy of Saint Theresa'. Pencil on paper, 2010. "If I had not already created the heavens, I would create them just for you", the quote on a banner above the sculpture. This photo is a bit dark though.
This blog has been set up as a way of getting exposure for my painting since I am now without a gallery. I will be updating it regularly with a mixture of work from the past and new paintings. I mainly enjoy painting places I have travelled to but occasionally try new things. I can be contacted by email for enquiries, or for more examples of my work, at matthewsummersart@gmail.com
