Ramblings of a much published New Zealand author

New Zealand Odyssey: Coromandel Wharf

'New Zealand Odyssey', published in 1989 by Heinemann, was authored by me, Don Donovan (who did the text and illustrations) and Euan Sarginson, who did the photography and design. In this series of blog posts, I will publish some of my drawings.





This is an unusual painting for me, I usually stick to buildings of one kind or another. This is much freer than usual, almost a sketch book scribble. I was quite pleased with the result which showed the wharf at Coromandel in the late eighties; quite ramshackle. What you can't experience from this is the salt, fish and tarred rope perfume that makes you want to go to sea.
