'Muruwai Beach', Watercolour on Paper, 1999. Found a series of drawings and watercolours of Auckland's west coast beaches, at this stage I was liking the effect of letting very diluted w/c pigment settle in layers on the paper.

'Harbour from Tinakori Hill', Oil on Board, 1999.

'Mowhanau Beach', 1998.
Another picture from an old slide from art school.

"Waitakere View', 1998.
I found some old and worn slides from art school and have had them put into digital form. The original photo's aren't the best but they give an idea of what my first landscapes were like.

'North of Riversdale', 2010.

'Lyttelton Harbour', 2010.

' Riversdale', 2008.
Another drawing from the Castlepoint trip a couple of years ago, this is a piece I hope to paint in the forthcoming holidays.

'Castlepoint', 2008.
I made my first visit to Castlepoint nearly two years ago after seeing pictures of the interesting landforms on a postcard. Such has been the backlog of work that I have to do, that in three weeks time (school holidays) I will finally get a chance to paint it in oil, probably three times.

'Wanganui River', Watercolour, 1999.

'Wellington', Watercolour, 1999.

'Wellington', Watercolour, 1999.

'Wellington', watercolour, 1999.
Another from the old sketchbooks, this time looking down toward Seatoun and the harbour entrance.

'Wellington', Watercolour, 2000.
Looking through old workbooks I've come across pages of old watercolours which nobody will have seen before.

Banks Peninsula sketches, 2008.

A couple of sketches from the trip, almost two years ago now. I have one more oil piece to do from that trip then I will move on to Castlepoint. Am away for two weeks now but will still attempt to make a few posts.
