'Relaxing in the tub'-Kiwiana Private Commission







This is a private commission for a kiwi couple who's friends are leaving the country. They have asked for a Kiwiana painting based on there favourite camping spot at Lake Hawea.


They have given me some photos for inspiration and there is an amazing fire heated bath with a view of the lake, so of course I had to paint Buzzy & Lou sitting and soaking enjoying the view!
