This project was so much fun and began with the idea of painting images
under the effect of sunlight through water. The scientific name for this
phenomenon is a "caustic". This proved tricky to do satisfactorily, so I
thought well maybe I could do the painting and just put it under water
and then photograph it. So that's what I did. I worked on the project
between 2003 and 2005 and added Castlepoint Lighthouse in 2017.
These images have been reproduced as cards and prints and proved very
popular around New Zealand. The Port of Tauranga commissioned a
Mt Maunganui image for Christmas cards one year. So yes, it went global!
These are being sold in Heart of Arts in Carterton, ConArt in Masterton,
as well as various outlets around the country.
