I painted this as a gift to great friends who used to live in Rotorua,
This was the view from their house, and is now hanging in their wonderful new home near Blenhiem.

This Drover's hut is well over 100 years old and is a well known icon in a field at the top of the Mamaku Ranges on the road between Hamilton and Rotorua.
It is in the process of being restored, using licken covered native wood so as to keep its aged look.
Probably most Rotorua residents think,"when you see this you are almost home"
Titled Promises, promises, I felt it had the promise of a fine day arriving, but also a deeper feeling, of promises long past, that were not fulfilled -
I was raised in Taranaki and when i go back there it is 'going home'
so this is to show the lovely coastline
