Sold. Two works by Harmen

I recently sold 2 more art works.

The first, a Guache and Aquarelle pencil on paper "White Heron, (Kotuku in the Maori language.)

This work went to a Kerikeri couple and is now proudly displayed in their living room.



















This image is closely based on a photograph taken by Martin Sanders of Auckland.
The heron was alighting on a post by the Boat Shed Cafe in Rawene near where we live. I built a custom frame to match the image. Douglas Horman provided the Glass and mat board.

The second, to a Kaikohe couple is a tempera and aquarelle pencil on paper called One owner.



The car was abandoned on a tree covered property in Taheke close to where we live. It was being digested my the forest which put things into perspective for me.
