Tasman at The Top of The South Island of NZ

The Whale Tail Appears

Sometimes the land reveals its secrets only when we’re ready to see them. This painting of Tasman’s shingle beach was born from a commission but in creating it, the artist discovered something unexpected: the shape of a whale’s tail, appearing in the shoreline only on an outgoing tide.

This moment of natural serendipity is captured here in soft layers and shifting light, part memory, part magic. It’s a reminder that beauty often lies just beneath the surface, waiting for attention to bring it to life.

A piece for those who treasure the quiet wonder in things that almost go unnoticed.

Museum-quality. Collector-ready. Yours to frame your way.
Each piece is professionally giclée printed on archival-grade paper or unstretched canvas, the gold standard for fine art reproduction. Unlike posters or mass-printed decor, giclée prints capture every brushstroke and pigment with rich depth and texture. (see examples of the material choice and quality below)
Your print arrives unframed to preserve its condition in transit, reduce its carbon footprint and to give you freedom to frame it to your taste. Most of our collectors enjoy choosing a local framer who can guide them on the best glass, mount, and frame for their home.
Prints are created with long-lasting materials and care, and every detail, from paper to pigment, is chosen to honour the artist’s original work.
