New Wild Garden Painting from New Zealand

Wild Garden II

 
Here is a new wild garden painting which I have just finished.  Our Spring
had been windy and has blown blossom off the trees with a wet and squally blast.
The birds don't seem to mind though and there are baby tui and black birds sitting in
the flowering cherry tree.  They enjoy the high perch where they can safely watch
the neighbourhood cats and practise their song.

Wild Garden Painting in New Zealand Wins Award

Wild Garden Painting at the Mahara Gallery

 
My wild garden painting won the highly commended award in the local Arts Review exhibition.
This is one of a series I am working on, now is the perfect time as the garden is bursting into early Spring flowering.  Although somewhat buffeted by the stong winds we have had it still looks very cheerful and promising.
The wild cherry has been full of tui chortling away and celebrating their nesting season.
This exhibition is now on at the Mahara Gallery, Waikanae, visit it and lend your support to a very hard working and dedicated team.
