FEATURED PAINTING: Koru Heartland
This easy to paint abstract of our landscape celebrates our love of New Zealand and how full our hearts are as a nation. We love Aotearoa and everyone in it.
As a valentine's special treat, we created this one so it can be hung next to another one (painted as a mirror image) so together they create a heart. Pretty cool huh.
Come paint your heart with us this Valentine's Day.
