Aotearoa 1 - New Zealand

My country is Aotearoa - Land of the Long White Cloud - more recently known as New Zealand. These paintings of Whai Repo (the North Island), a big part of Aotearoa - a beautiful place on earth in which to Be. See Gallery: Aotearoa II (South Island) also. Whai Repo is the 'Stingray', not someone asking you to go out and repossess a vehicle. If you look at Kiwiland from high up in the atmosphere you will see the Stingray - Northland is the Tail, the area around Wellington Harbour the Head, and Taranaki and East Cape the Fins. The Maori knew its shape long before satellites, otherwise they wouldn't have called it the Stingray.

[This gallery needs a lot of work, sorting and that sort of thing. To surf one of the other galleries - go to top left and CLICK ' > inanga >'].

Enough of the technical, sit back and enjoy Whai Repo (the Stingray) on your HD screen.

i'll write a Plog on Karl later. He's a great bloke and i think Aotearoa's best painter by far. No, not his forgeries, but the stuff he painted from his heart. His Dad was a Communist (we call them 'commies' downunder and thus named his artist son after Karl Marx).

He has some stories to tell - if only the gallery owners in NZ knew what dirt he had on them - selling forgeries. Karl did his community service in Foxton painting local buildings, not far from the cop shop where he was locked up when he went on trial for forging and uttering. Why aren't there more colourful people like Karl in NZ? If i get permission from the publishers of his biography to do so, i will put order details on-line. As i said more later...
