This is my latest painting. The view looking down the beach is from a photo taken on one of my many hiking adventures - this one being from Te Waha point lookout. It looks down on Kohuni Bay (which means sea mist) and up Piha beach towards Lion Rock at sunset. The shadow falls on the lower part of the work defining the lush green leaves - which I thought were a rather beautiful foreground of the sunlit beach...
