Fence post, Akaroa NZ (33)

This is a painting of a lichen covered wooden fence post in Akaroa on the South Island of New Zealand. It is taken from a photo I took about five years ago.

Akaroa is a spectacular part of the world. I loved how the luxuriant green vegetation in the foreground contrasted with the ancient volcanic cliffs and bright blue sea in the background.

I found the amorphous lichen very hard to paint, but I persevered and think I captured it pretty well.
