All original paintings are conservation framed unless otherwise stated. We now use UV70 glazing for its brilliant clarity and virtually non-reflective enhancement of the image.
Disclaimer: I am better at painting than I am at maintaining a website. Understandable: my goal is to have you buy my paintings; I do not want you to employ me to develop another poor website!
If you see a painting you like on the Paintings pages and the description does not say SOLD, then it is likely to be available even if it does not appear on this page. Please, forgive me - then ask about the piece that piques your interest. If a painting is no longer available, I enjoy responding to requests to paint the topic (or similar) again.
ALL art reproduction prints are in Limited Edition runs of 35 for each available size: original, and, for selected prints, one or two smaller sizes. All are available framed or unframed. Please feel free to discuss with us your framing requirements.
Reproduction Availability:. We hold only a few stocks of prints in our studio, preferring instead to provide you with professionally printed work hot off the press in superb condition. Our reproduction work is entrusted to one of New Zealand’s best recognised print companies.
POOLBURN VIADUCT
POOLBURN VIADUCT
From an original watercolour painting by Russell Perry. H:420mm
SOLD - reproductions available.
The Central Otago Rail trail has a number of highlights, but none more spectacular than the magnificent Poolburn Viaduct. Built (1901–04) on piers of locally mined schist rock, it sits 37m (121 ft) above the Ida Burn which flows through the Poolburn Gorge. This gorge bisects the Raggedy Range and is the only water exit from the extensive Ida Valley.
The viaduct is well worth the small effort it takes to view it.
