About the Artwork
Looking south from the Wairau Bar (Blenheim) you can see the White Bluffs – Te Parinui o Whiti. I painted the bluffs during the “Paintaway” organised by Watercolour New Zealand in May 2025. When I setup my easel the weather was still very calm, but soon the wind started to pick up. Eventually my easel was picked up by the wind and landed on my nose. That’s when I decided to finish this painting in my car.
