Painting the Bay of Islands

"Roberton Island" Oil on Canvas by Richard Robinson

This is one of my favorite spots on the planet. Roberton Island in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand.

"Tapeka Point" Oil on Canvas by Richard Robinson

This is the bay we stayed in for a week, 13 family members.

"Low Tide, One Tree Point" Oil on Canvas by Richard Robinson

A commissioned piece of our local harbour. Pretty sure I've got the hang of seagulls now, mostly.

Comment by Melanie Harbin on March 18, 2013 at 8:12: I really love "Low Tide". A little drama in the clouds, beautiful, beautiful variations in the mountains,nicely scattered sailboats, even the downplayed signature red one, all those lavenders coming in the front( my fav color), and the sea gulls are good but I love the warm rocks. But I do have a problem here. I don't know if your client suggested this or not or if you just went mad. At first I thought you forgot to sign it....but no. I found it What is this? No red! OH my, this can't be happening. Now I go back up to "Roberton Island". I can;t find a signature or any red. Gasp! Either I have the flu or you do. I am going to put some lime in a coconut and go to bed.
