Ever since Captain Cook’s artists were captivated by capturing the ‘harsh, clear light’ of New Zealand, each and every single nz art student has not been allowed to forget about it. Well, I did until recently.
I’m spending a little time here for now and some of it has been out doors (mostly indoors watching this) and I must say even in the late winter/early spring and after spending 44 seasons in the UK, I think I can finally agree with Captain Cook’s artists. Never has a morning stroll with a couple of girlfriends along a beach blown the cobwebs out and reawakened the senses.
