MEMORIES OF NEW ZEALAND - For Leif

 

Oil on Linen Board - 16X20

My son Leif is graduating from the University of Washington in Seattle this spring. Last fall he went to New Zealand to help a friend photograph a  project studying some kind of rodent they have there.  (that's all I know)  I told him I would paint one of his photographs from the trip.  These are hot pools where they were swimming.  It was different from anything I  have painted and enjoyed the challenge.   This is Leif in the picture and yes, that is his hair.
