Evergreen
Ever dreamed of sneaking away to a quiet, tranquil spot…lush vegetation, hearing the sounds of the forest and spending the day relaxing, reading a good book and having the most yummy picnic?
Well here is a little oasis I created. It looks a lot like an area of New Zealand called the Marlborough Sounds. What childhood memories are made of. The old bach (or crib)...simple holiday home with comfortable but basic living conditions. Getting away from the rat race.
Evergreen belongs to the following groups:

Gorgeous, tranquil view, I love the water and reflection! Beautiful art work
Anni Morris in reply to cdwork’s comment
Thanks cdwork, I think most of us like being next to water to relax, be it the sea, or a lake. I seldom paint landscape and thought I should give it a try. Thank you :) ~ Anni

the wonderful thing about people dropping by to see my work or leave a comment is that i always return the favour and look at theirs….. boy am i glad i did. I really like your paintings Anni so vibrant and expressive. I’ve just returned from living in Nelson for a year and a half and slated it in my journal…... nearly went mad down there. It was far too quiet for me. ................i liked Dunedin …..but too cold!! ........... love the way you’ve captured the Marlborough Sounds.
Anni Morris
Thanks for such supportive comments. Yup, it does get a wee bit chilly down here, but on a fine day the view from Latnach’s Castle over Otago harbour is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Anyway I am a hardy soul who grew up in England…was used to getting up in the morning on to cold lino and having ice inside the bedroom windows. As the Monty Python lot (the Yorkshireman) said “I had it tough”. Cheers ~ Anni

Cathleen Taraw...
It is a bit like Corsiar bay in Lyttelton, Christchurch too :)
Anni Morris in reply to Cathleen Tarawhiti’s comment
Hello Cathleen. A guy from Christchurch bought this…it reminded him of holidays in the Marlborough Sounds…I daresay there are a few little bays which might fit this. Thank you ~ Anni :)
