This is a quick “plein air” painting of Walter Peak and the Queenstown Gardens as seen from the beach at Queenstown Bay. The conditions were the windiest that I’ve ever painted in; about every 5-10 minutes or so, I had to stop painting and brace my easel and palette so they wouldn’t blow away. The joy of these outdoor paintings is the people who stop by to see what you’re doing. On this day, the visitors included a Brazilian sculptor, an Australian who once biked from Washington to Virginia, and a woman from Dunedin and her artist mum.
