I painted this en plein air a couple of weeks ago in Taumarere in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand.⁣

Sometimes simple subjects make the best plein air paintings. It's always a good idea to simplify the scene you are painting when you are painting outdoors.⁣

I absolutely love the beauty of these pine trees especially when they're juxtaposed again the green hills so characteristic of the Northland region of New Zealand.⁣
