Browns Island & Bunny Tails

Jane Puckey captures a nostalgic slice of the Hauraki Gulf in this original acrylic painting on board. 

The work frames a sun-drenched view toward Motukorea (Browns Island), viewed through a playful foreground of wind-swept bunny tails and coastal grasses.

The composition beautifully balances the deep blues of the Waitematā Harbour with the vibrant, rolling greens of the island’s volcanic peaks.

Puckey’s signature attention to light and linear detail brings a sense of warmth and movement to the scene, immortalising a quintessential Auckland summer day.

An evocative, one-of-a-kind treasure for those with a deep connection to the New Zealand coastline.
