Hawkes Bay Fruit Growers Art Competition 2013

Two entries for the Hawkes’ Bay Fruit Growers Art Competition 2013 this
years theme ‘Water’

Gold Rush - Winner
Inspired by the irrigation units, I have managed to capture the rush of water shooting out of the golden pipe work by applying the paint expressively through abstraction, expressionism and realism. This was a fun piece to do and I can feel the force of the water. I was surprised to win this years Fruit Growers Art Competition sponsored by Gifford Devine Barristers & Solicitors. Thank you to everyone who voted.

Priceless SOLD
After such an incredibly dry hot summer in H.B.  I was inspired by the signage on the side of the road displaying the fire risks, and so I reused this signage and through manipulating the text have redefined the importance of water when a drought occurs. Water is 'Priceless'.
