Arrowtown Cemetery, 2016, oils, 40x30cm
Have been thinking lately whether to try a more realistic style. This is my closest to that yet. I like the late afternoon light in this one.
(ps my artist friend in Java says that graveyards are never a subject for art in that culture, whereas they’ve been a staple in European art, curious!)

…wow, please come to Dunedin and do some of these for us!!!…I’m loving your stuff, Alistair…
Hey, thanks for that. Spent last week in Invercargill so there was a middling chance we would pass through Dunedin (Airport) en route home. Yes, I can see this style working in your beautiful harbour also. One never knows, do one!
Painting Oriental Bay in the style of Hiroshige — what a clever idea! I’m liking this especially for the colours, the composition, the sweeping curves and the jagged lines… yep, very cool.
Thanks Anna, good that you’re back online, I enjoy your work
