Impressions of the Bay

from the 18th November to the 11th December 2011

Nicholas Hayter is largely a self-taught Napier artist who enjoys a representational-impressionist style of oil painting. Having an artist father and being surrounded by paintings growing up, it was a natural progression to draw and paint.

The local Hawke's Bay area is a constant source of inspiration for Nicholas, whether its painting the colourful boats in the Ahuriri harbour or capturing the sunset of a nearby beach on canvas, his individual style and application of oil to board and canvas intends to connect the viewer to the beauty of the landscape.

Nicholas subjects include seascapes, landscapes, still life, and cityscapes.
