Papamoa Dunescape

24x12" Oil on Canvas
Papamoa Beach in the Bay of Plenty, NZ is a long Pacific Coast beach similar to Ruakaka but in the evening the light comes in at a different angle i.e. from the left so the beach itself is in full sunlight rather than shadow.

Comment by Gail Richardson on May 31, 2017 at 22:43: I like the inclusion of the man made element - it implies a path down to the beach, and invited me right into the scene. I like your slightly subdued colour palette too.

Comment by Dorian Aronson on May 31, 2017 at 17:15: Smiles Denis:-)

Comment by Richard Robinson on May 31, 2017 at 15:57: Great work Denis. All good. Would have liked to have seen a larger light area in the dunes - just extending that central clump to the left and right to make more of a feature of the centre of interest.

Comment by Steinunn Einarsdottir on May 28, 2017 at 23:28: I like the calmness about it Denis

Comment by Lori Ippolito on May 26, 2017 at 13:49: Nice light and shadow on this Denis

Comment by DENIS KING on May 25, 2017 at 22:12: Thanks for your comment Ana - I like the bit about feral animals. The object is in fact a small bench seat and I should probably have left it out as it doesn't really add much to the scene.

Comment by Ana Murza on May 25, 2017 at 21:20: I like your version Denis, one question though, what represents the that little house lookalike? Is that kind of shelter for feral shoreline animals?

Comment by DENIS KING on May 23, 2017 at 12:04: Thanks for your comments Cristina, Siobhan and Lamoine.

Comment by Lamoine Eleanor Dionne on May 22, 2017 at 1:22: This is so beautiful, great vivid colors and a nice panoramic view. Although i have never visited NZ i have always loved all i have seen and heard about it. Just so beautiful!!
