Akaroa Bay New Zealand.

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it.
This is Akaroa Bay, New Zealand.
I think I left part of my heart here, not only is New Zealand so beautiful it's like Scotland with the volume turned up, brilliant colour and less secretive landscape, but also this trip was the last time I saw my grandad alive. Saying goodbye to a 93 year old man who lived, literally, at the other side of the world, I think we both knew it would be.
Further I saw Christchurch before it was all but flattened in the earthquake shortly after. So this image, for me, is of a time, utterly unreturnable to.
