Bird Art by 30 Local Artists Now Showing at Petone Foreshore's Artspace Gallery
This is Paul Gadsby with one of his five large oil paintings from our current, combined artist exhibition, featuring New Zealand birds. Paul's painting features a rock wren and he titled it 'High Noon' in order to draw our attention to their plight. With warming temperatures, these tiny birds are under increasing threat due to predators moving higher up the slopes due to warming temperatures. Apparently this little bird is our only true alpine bird. The exhibition features a wealth of work in original paintings, prints an sculptures and if you love our birds like our artists do, then this exhibition is a must see.
