Portraits of vessels make an fine gift to

WORK IN
PROGRESS
| This
link will take you to a page where I describe the painting on which I
am currently working. The page will be updated as the work
progresses. In Auckland just now there is considerable interest concerning Queen's Wharf at the foot of Queen Street, Auckland's main drag. It is the intention, if all goes well, to open the wharf to the public and construct attractive facillities, among them a new passenger terminal and events centre. Perhaps in time for the Rugby World Cup in 2011. I have over the years made quite a study of the late Victorian and Edwardian waterfront of Auckland and complete several paintings depicting this interesting time. The current interest in Queen's Wharf has inspired me to get started on a cartoon for a rather challenging watercolour of the wharf as it was just over 100 years ago. |
