New Work | Dawn from Te Ranga.

 

New Zealand Landscap Painting - Te Ranga by Bryce Brown

Hello Friends,

After an early morning visit to the site of The Battle of Te Ranga (1864) many photos, much contemplating, I have painted my first landscape in this sub-series for my New Zealand Land Wars theme. Although I have used landscapes in my work quite a lot recently, the focus has always been on the figures. Dawn from Te Ranga is quite a revolutionary piece for me, in that it is devoid of figures, instead I have played on the presence of the trees on the horizon - almost Kaitiaki (guardian) like in form.



You can see it in my Oak Lane studio, view online and read more about Te Ranga at http://brycebrownart.com/new-zealand-land-wars.html#dawnteranga


Best wishes,


Bryce

A wonderful piece, Bryce, and a big break for you from your figurative work! I'm sure it must feel like a big step for you, but relax; with work like this you will still draw a lot of fans.
