Ponsonby mural

This is a mural painted for the Grey Lynn / Ponsonby community on a construction site hoarding, next to other murals from other leading local artists.  Some of my finest work to date!

The mural depicts Auckland City as viewed from the Ponsonby Road ridgeline, in circa 1812.  Based on pictures from the Auckland Library and City Council archives, plus special thanks to local historian Edward Bennett.
