About the Work
I
couldn't
go
past
Peter
McIntyre
and
this
iconic
landscape
of
our
lovely
part
of
the
world.
We
grew
up
with
Peter
McIntyre's
New
Zealand
in
the
house,
able
to
take
virtual
tours
of
the
country
through
the
paintings
in
that
book,
which
has
always
been
a
family
favourite.
This
feels
like
an
autumnal
painting,
perfect
for
now.
I
love
the
detail
of
the
clusters
of
sheep,
the
rocks
at
the
river
bend
and
the
lone
trees
on
the
ridge
tops,
so
similar
to
those
we
pass
when
driving
through
the
Parapara
Highway.
