Seascapes & Coastlines 海景与海岸线
by Bear Liu Bear 作
Harbours, bays and beaches drawn on the spot, many from a first-person view with the artist's own feet, a beer or a pair of binoculars in the foreground. Boats drift on calm water and the long flat clouds of the Hauraki Gulf sit on the horizon. 在现场写生的海港、海湾与沙滩，多以第一人称视角入画，前景常出现作者自己的脚、一罐啤酒或一副望远镜。帆船在平静的水面上漂着，地平线上挂着豪拉基湾绵长扁平的云。
