Oysters on The Estuary
"Oysters on the Estuary - High Tide" - original V Watson seascape painting
[Painting 1 of 2 - high tide on the estuary. See painting 2 - spoonbill at low tide on the estuary.]
Nelson's humble Waimea Estuary is in fact internationally important for wading and migratory birds.
I have the pleasure of living here, and observing the estuary and its fabulous wading birds in all seasons, all weathers, light, and tides. It has so many moods.
In this work you will see 2 pied oystercatchers in flight, two black shags watching on, and more oystercatchers resting in the far distance.
For this painting I used a palette knife and impasto technique to achieve the textured finish, and brush work for a softer sky and still water.
