Original artwork description:

This Oil Pastel on Brown Paper is a view of the coast near Christchurch from the Red Rock Gondola Café on top of the mountain. It is a very beautiful spot with trails and 360 degree views all around (weather permitting!) The day we visited started very sunny and hot as we took the Gondola up and hiked on the numerous short trails around the top. After this we got a coffee in the Café and sat enjoying the views as I started this drawing. It wasn’t long before the for bank that had been out at sea started to come in land, enveloping everything in a mysterious clouds. This started quite slowly and was very beautiful to have clouds moving around you, although I would have to draw the parts of the view that were still visible! This continued for about an hour with the clouds completely covering and then revealing small parts of the view to me, and being the stubborn person I am I continued to try to capture anything I could! Eventually it became a complete and very bright whiteout and I decided the picture was as finished as it could be!

Shipping rates have increased in price all around the world due to Covid and other complications. Due to this I have had to increase the the cost of shipping my artworks in line with the Delivery Companies. I will always strive to find the cheapest possible option for the customer (usually my local POST OFFICE EMS Recorded Delivery, but unfortunately they don’t deliver worldwide at the moment) If the amount of shipping charged at purchase is less than the shipping company charges then I will refund the difference to the customer. This refund will be done after the picture has arrived safely and has been accepted.
