Where the shape of shadows embraces the curve of the moat...
... a perfect cloud watching quietly in the distance.

Caught by a shape of light on my way to the Airbnb. 
Like a moth stopped by a bulb!

Oamaru day light Day 2

Fresh reading. first look, I am in love with every detail. I want everything. I get lost in the texture of the oil pastels. I disappear in the moment. 
Without really knowing what caught me there.

a view from my window. a golden light splashing the hills, a moon hanging there, barely.
that shape of a house i knew in my childhood, in a town on the sea, whom I have forgotten the name.

Winter holidays in the North Island. 
Exploring New Zealand an island at the time.
we left Central Otago and minus something degres to get some warmth. (15-17 C) tropical
the weather was amazing, the island was desert, and this feeling of back season floated everywhere we went (in the only rental car on the island) I sat in the grass there and sketched this beach. I was taken by the black sand and the ochre cliff. I couldn't have enough. But while painting the scene, i got lost in the rainbow of greens and the blue shape in the background. Odd feeling to realize that i was not seeing what i thought was there.
