oars



I am absolutely loving these beautifully painted oars by Home Base Collection

"The first one is called 'Treasure' & the most prominent image is the white heron (Kotuku) that is sacred to Maori.

The second oar is called 'The Heat Is On'. I painted this oar out at the beach...& it was extremely hot at the time. I was thinking about Global Warming...'The Heat Is On' is about running out of time.

The last oar is called 'Gay Thrush'. It is simply a true story of a gay man & his friendship with a bird. Graham, who has a spectacularly beautiful & humorous garden, has made friends with the Thrush who now eats with him, follows him about the garden & was happy to pose for me."
