Hi Patricia, this lovely painting captures our amazing tree ferns beautifully! Cheers, AMR (now in Murchison fly-fishing)
Hi AMR. Thank you so much for this comment. This painting is owned by a long-term hunter friend of mine, and it’s his favorite.
For a while I was exec officer for NZ Deerstalkers Association so I know what comes with the territory. Shall be releasing some wildlife drawings soon. Enjoy Murchison – ever heard of Tony Orman? Patricia
