Thomas Alistair Elliott paintsin oil on canvas in Raglan arriving after 30 years of painting, photography and wood sculpture in Titirangi. 

Alistair paints in oil on large canvases with dramatic landscapes in the company of birds, classical renaissance figures and people he paints. 

Using many layers of oil paint and glazes along with 23 carat gold leaf he achieves works that are imaginative, rich, luscious, stylish and fresh. 

Alistair's bird paintings capture a feeling of time and space, of the freedom of flight and the theatre in which the birds conducttheir winged performances.
