This original acrylic on board painting is not as much collectible as it is meaningful for me and my family. We lived in New Zealand for a year. On the north island, on the east coast in an area called Hawkes Bay. This original painting brings me back to that portion of my life. There is a mountain called Te Mata Peak that this is painted after. In the end, isn’t that what a collectible does? It brings you back to a memory, a point in your life, and supporting living artists with buying original art always has a special place in my heart.

I’m a sucker for cool art. Also a sucker for colorful wildlife like this wood duck. This is an acrylic hand - painted wood duck on $10 New Zealand bank note. Super cool and almost luminescent in person. I lived in New Zealand for a year and have fond memories of that country. This piece of art captures the beauty of New Zealand.
