Robbie and I camped here for a few days on our outback adventure, and finally I've picked up my brush and painted this lovely spot. Late afternoon and the billabong was full to the brim after recent flooding, the warm golds of the sand touched with deep purple shadows from the gum trees.
After I took some photos and did a quick sketch I was making my way back to our campsite when I noticed that my Man was sitting reading. blissfuly unaware of the three large Herefords making a raid on our lunch!When he finally heard me shrieking and waving my arms as I raced towards the tent he told me that he thought that it was just me crashing about .

When I began planning my 2018 calendar I asked friends and family what New Zealand means to them – I was surprised by the answers!
Flora and fauna, the people , the hospitality and  the landscape (did you know that New Zealand has 14,000km of coastline?)  , we all have  special memories of our country.
 I had fun painting from both these ideas and my own. I hope that the paintings bring a smile to your face, and if you’re away from New Zealand , fond memories.
