This isn't just a bird painting

Bari Duncan paints Napier's Marine Parade foreshore with the easy familiarity of someone who loves it deeply — the kind of painting that makes locals smile and visitors wish they'd stayed longer

where you feel both the weight of the day and its gentle letting go

Kereru at Rest orientation-3d This isn't just a birdHe's not going anywhere in a hurry. Plump, unhurried, entirely at home this kerer has claimed his branch and the warmth of the afternoon with equal confidence. Jane McIntosh has painted him with a richness that feels almost tactile, the oil paint alive with colour and quiet personality. A love letter to one of New Zealand's most beloved birds, and a painting that brings that same warmth into your home. Artist: Jane McIntosh Medium: Oil on canvas
