thank you!

Yeah it kind of looks like it. Was near Turangi on a cold day.

Lake Taupo on an overcast winter's day

No ranges near Taupo

@@geoffmoore422 can see them in the distance. I was literally standing in Taupo. Looked on a map. Think they are the Kaimanawa ranges. Phone didn't pick up that great but could see with eye that covered with snow.

@@soarpurpose yes, sorry i rewatched it and can see what you are meaning. Haven’t seen snow so low before there either.

@@geoffmoore422 I only had my phone on me so not that great. If there's still snow, I will try get some on my regular camera. It's only sometimes that snow is seen on the ranges.

Thank you

Well I think it's better to spend 10 minutes confirming the mixes are what I want (based on previous experience & knowledge). Otherwise it's frustrating when the colours I don't want end up on a canvas. I use a different palette for every painting. Some artists use the same palette.

using just gesso but I will be painting with acrylics

can definitely feel my abs since. Not sure if laughing at all the rude jokes or from attempting to lift my butt into the air!

I am no tree expert but I think it's a miro tree. Kereru like to eat the berries.

I like the sound of them flying

Surprised it didn't pick up the wind sound, strongly. Did pick up a tui singing. I like the peacefulness of nature. This little pocket just above the town.

Original is on canvas on left. Doesn't look it's best as in poor lighting. Print is on premium paper with pigmented inks from a fine art printing specialist. It doesn't seem affected by the poor lighting as much. Was done from a photo I took of the original in good lighting.

I also requested a white border around the image for the print.

Thanks. The original looks more vibrant too in good lighting, which was used for the photo I took for the printer. Glad I only tweaked the saturation by only about 3 points.

I'm a kiwi too

Well there was loads of grass to graze on too. They seemed pretty chilled.

thanks. I've since purchased an entry-level mirrorless, so that takes good pics too. These pics were with an inexpensive bridge camera. Will be sharing more pics when I can. I take the bird pics in case want reference pics to paint. Birds in nature are my favourite subject to photograph. I do it on a low cost budget.
