Collingwood Estuary

Tucked away at the top of New Zealand’s South Island, Collingwood Estuary is a place where land, sea, and sky drift gently into one another. The tides move slowly here, carrying with them reflections of distant hills and wide, changing skies.

In this piece, the artist captures that quiet in-between moment, where the tide is in and everything feels both still and alive. Rounded shapes and lush greens meet soft blues and lilacs, translating the estuary’s calm rhythm into a scene that feels both expansive and intimate.

A painting for those who are drawn to still waters,  and to the quiet spaces where beauty breathes.

How Your Original Will Arrive and What to Do Next

This is an original artwork, created by the artists hands using soft pastels, a natural medium composed of pure pigment, clay, and a binder. These pastels (Rembrandt and Sennelier) are lightfast, permanent, and chemical-free, offering a life time of colour and depth.

“Degas used soft pastels in his ballerina series (1880s), the originals remain as vibrant today as the day he painted them.”

Because of its value and delicacy, the artwork is not framed before delivery. This reduces the carbon footprint as well as ensures:

• The surface is protected from pressure and vibration during shipping

• You can work with a trusted local framer to choose the right frame for your space and style

• The artwork stays in its best possible condition until it’s safely behind glass 

  Please do not attempt to flatten or frame the artwork yourself. Originals must be carefully unrolled and mounted by a professional framer to avoid creasing, smudging, or damage.

This is the beginning of your role as its curator, the artwork has travelled from the artist’s hands to yours. Let it be framed with care and intention, ready to hold its place in your world.
