Gerard at Café Tirangi

This is my first portrait of a New Zealander. Here, one of Faye's neighbours, Gerard, is wearing his French beret and holding a coffee mug. The scene is set in a Tirangi Road garden with views of Evans Bay and Wellington Harbour beyond.

It is morning coffee time, and Gerard is backlit by strong north-eastern sunlight.


Set in a sunny garden near Wellington Harbour, New Zealand, the watercolour "Gerard at Café Tirangi" is painted by William Walkington.
