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!

'Playing in the Paddock'

Acrylic on board 600 x 600 x 20mm

My inspiration for this exhibition is Kiwiana and images from our popular culture.

Icons that we grew up with that represent New Zealand to us.

I began with the toys because as a child, I would think after I had gone to sleep they would come to life. Buzzy Bee, Mary-lou and Big Ted have come to life and are doing typical NZ things that we all consider to reperesent home or our beautiful country.

Other paintings are inspired by the landscape or just beautiful thing I have seen, or quirky things I consider to be Kiwiana. Not all paintings are on here yet as a few are still in progress.

To enquire about any of the paintings please email me on shelly_davidson@hotmail.com
