I've recently spent a week out at Piha where I completed 5 oil sketches and took hundreds of photos. From that material, back in the studio, I'm working on larger paintings which would have been impossible to paint on site. While painting the sketch which led to this painting a storm came in over the ocean and forced me to take shelter in a cave on the beach until it passed. Back up on the cliff amidst the swirling remains of the storm I was left with a clear feeling of the undeniable raw power which is Piha. Such a small name for such an awe-inspiring place.
