Description

"Black Sands" depicts one of New Zealand's famous west coast beaches, Karekare, which means "rough sea" in Maori, and is located just south of Piha not far from Auckland city. As with much of my work, I used photographic reference, and I took the shot for this study at around six o'clock in the evening in late May. There are no roads to the beach at Karekare and you get there by foot through the sand dunes, which lends an extra quality of solitude to its rugged expansiveness. I knew at the time that this place with its brooding clouds, black sands and scintillating sunset over the rough surf would make an excellent painting.
Available as a hand numbered and signed limited editon of one hundred giclee prints on canvas.
