Te Paki Stream – Acrylic

Posted by admin On May - 19 - 2010

Right up at the top of the Far North of New Zealand, the land narrows.  On the east coast are some wonderful bays and beaches, and on the west coast is our famous 90 Mile Beach. The road goes up the east coast, and 90 Mile Beach, officially classed as a highway, provides an alternative route.

Bus tours taking vistors to see the Cape Reinga lighthouse at the point where the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea collide, do a round trip – and Te Paki Stream links the eastern road with the Beach.

This is a quicksand stream that has to be navigated by drivers who know what they are doing.   90 Mile beach is also subject to quicksand and has very limited exits for vehicles caught by the tide – so tour bus or horseback is definitely the way to go.

Acrylic painting sketch 12″ x 10″ – sketch on canvas card.  In my collection.

About Me

I have been creating and selling Art for years, around the edges of a full-time career as a government lawyer. My art is in private collections in New Zealand, Australia, USA, Canada and France.. Hundreds of copies of my limited edition Portfolio of Game Mammals prints collection sold in New Zealand and abroad from 1978 onwards, and they are selling still. I have illustrated for newspapers, Government publications, catalogues, and books. I have exhibited in New Zealand and overseas. In 1999 I won the Telecom Art Award, my artwork featuring on the front cover of the Telecom Northland Phone Book for 2000. In 2001 I won a design award for road signage for Twin Coast Discovery Highway for Transit NZ.
