Step into the bush world of New Zealand with this brightly lit painting that captures the play of light and shade on our beautiful tree ferns. This narrow cutting with the light streaming in from the right hand side makes you want to walk round the corner and see what lies beyond.

All of my paintings are of real places that I have been to in the New Zealnd outdoors.

The large ferns are The Black Mamaku - Cyathea medullaris - the biggest of our treeferns, and very characteristic of our bush.

This Original painting is Acrylic on board, size 12in x 16in.

Sold - Hamilton NZ. Two of these sketches were created: one is still in the artist's collection.
