I’ve been working on Moeraki boulders (two) over the last week and thought it would make a good WIP slideshow. The photographs (below) show inspiration, evaluation, exuberance, regret, pity and perseverance. I’ll post the last stage, abandonment, next week.

If this looks familiar, it may be because it’s an acrylic version of a watercolour study I posted last month. Some Moeraki boulders weigh several tonnes and the largest are three metres in diameter but what impresses me the most about these amazing mudstone concretions is knowing that they are the result of erosion. I would find it much easier to believe that they fell from the sky!

P.S. I’m now working on Moeraki (two), looking in the opposite direction (towards the cliffs).
