Plein Air Painting - View From Opua, New Zealand
I’ve been spending a lot of time in my studio recently especially as the weather has been a bit chilly these past few days, it’s winter here in New Zealand at the moment. Today however I needed to get outside, get inspired and paint outdoors which is something I absolutely love to do. I’ve been wanting to paint this view for the last couple of months and today was a good day for it, there were dramatic clouds, intermittent sunlight and I was loving the mood and atmosphere of this winter day in the Bay of Islands.
It was nice to be outside painting and it was actually quite warm in the sun, I was in a t-shirt getting some much needed sun on my skin...another benefit to painting outdoors.
I painted this artwork in oils and the view looks towards the Veronica Channel and the Bay of Islands vista painted from a promontory in the village of Opua.

Was it actually warm or just warmer than you've been used to because it's no longer quite so freezing? XD Yay for warmer and getting vitamin D!
very well done
Wow, very nice!
I really love this country.
