Kite Surfing at Tahunanui

I guess that this is the summer we have all been waiting for. A blistering hot day, a strong sea breeze building, and dog walkers and kite surfers sharing one of the iconic beaches in NZ. Not to mention of course a slightly deranged plein air painter working in the adjoining dunes sans shelter, sans shade, and some might unkindly suggest, somewhat obsessive and lacking common sense. Of course, common sense does not often produce interesting paintings either. I enjoyed painting this. Now for a nice cool drink and a snooze in the shade.
