Taylor Jenson Gallery approached Timon in 2017 about a show in 2018. He was very keen to produce more local themed works for this, and made several photography trips around the region, then painted scenes of the Rangitikei and Manawatu Rivers. 

I completed this painting a couple of weeks ago and sent it off to the client, Irmgard Metzger, in Germany. She had recently visited New Zealand and was particularly taken with the incredible landscapes and desired a pictorial reminder! I painted this on loose linen so that it could be framed behind glass.
