The Catch of the Day

About the painting

The Catch of the Day was inspired by life on the Kapiti Coast, where fishing is woven into everyday life. From the beach I often see people fishing from the shore, launching boats, setting kontikis and, more recently, even using drones to carry lines out to sea.

My husband loves nothing more than a day spent fishing, and I love nothing more than fresh snapper for dinner. This painting imagines the world beneath the waves before the catch reaches the table. A snapper glides through shafts of light above a bed of green-lipped mussels, surrounded by the mystery and movement of the underwater landscape.
