Piha II

My friend John took a lovely photo of Piha beach - from further inland behind the estuary. I've been learning some more oil painting techniques, and thought I'd try my hand at putting them to practice on this image.
It is by no means finished yet, but coming along nicely. I particularly like the translucent effect, and oh, what a joy to work in oils again.

Hi, I live in Piha and think your oils are great. You've 'captured' the essense.

Wow - thanks, Bobbie! I'll keep at it then. Love those West Coast beaches.
