Ruakaka Estuary 07 2007 Oil on Canvas 51 x 51cm $800 Currency Converter A cold day spent in the estuary down the beach from our house. I had to go for a run half way through the painting to warm up and allow my fingers to work properly again. This was the day after a storm which had ravaged the area for 2 days, evident here in the cut away sand banks, bedraggled dune grasses and this small lake where there is usually only sand.
