8" x 10" oil, encaustic and gold leaf on panel. Here is another piece for my African animals series in encaustic. It is difficult for a photograph to capture the surface effect of the gold interacting with the translucent encaustic wax.

New Zealand Sheep Farm
This is a little farm on the Coromandel Peninsula on New Zealand's North Island. It is near Coromandel Town. What a lovely spot - lush grass, peaceful sheep - behind me was the Ocean. I longed to live there, but the next best thing was to capture it in paint.

First New Zealand Painting
Here is the first of what I hope will be a large series of New Zealand paintings. It is a depiction of a typical landscape in Otago, South Island. Sheep are all over the place there.

Just got back from 3 weeks in New Zealand
I may be jet-lagged, I may have gained 5 pounds, but I'm ready to paint! New Zealand was every bit as beautiful as I expected. Unfortunately, I did not get to paint at all. I was travelling with my family, and they were not sympathetic to my need to spend 2 to 3 hours in one spot to work on a painting. I did make lots of observational notes when possible and I took more photos than I will be able to paint in a lifetime. Keep a watch out - the Kiwi paintings are coming!
