Black frame, natural frame or white frame?
It's so hard to decide which looks the best!
Maybe you have your own framer and ideas, that's OK - you can buy an unframed print and have it exactly how you want.

Every artwork starts with a feeling, which becomes a memory, and then inspiration.

But choosing which places to turn into art is the hard part.

Steve's walked and worked his way around a fair chunk of New Zealand now, but there are still plenty missing.

What place do you think deserves the Steve Ballantyne treatment next?
(And where do you think this is?)

What turns a beach into YOUR beach?

Maybe you grew up there. Maybe it's where you spent summers, reconnecting with friends from the summer before and teasing each other about how much you'd grown.

Maybe it's where you met someone wonderful, got married, raised the kids, bought your first bach... or just spent one spectacular weekend that you still remember to this day.

We'd love to know...

What's that place for you?

How quickly did you recognise this special place?
(No peeking at the comments!)

There are some corners of New Zealand you only need to glimpse for a second before you know exactly where you are.

So, where are we?

And more importantly, what are your memories of this place?

If this artwork had its own soundtrack...

What would be playing?

Something peaceful?

Classic Kiwi?

A movie soundtrack?

Or complete silence except for the waves?

We'd love to hear your suggestions.

STEVE'S OPINION:

I think one large piece of artwork almost always looks better than lots of little pieces.

It gives a room somewhere to breathe.

It creates a focal point.

And strangely, it often makes a room feel bigger, not smaller.

Of course there are exceptions...

But if you're standing in a room wondering whether the artwork might be too large...

It probably isn't.

What's your preference?

One statement piece or a gallery wall?

We often hear stories that have nothing to do with art.

"That's where Dad taught us to fish."

"We got engaged there."

"That's where we took the kids every Christmas."

It's one of the nicest parts of what we do.

A print becomes much more than something to hang on the wall.

It becomes a reminder of a place that means something.

Is there a New Zealand place that instantly takes you back to a special memory? Maybe it's this one - Pauanui.

Every one of Steve's pieces starts long before it gets to the store. Some locations take ages to get right.

He might visit half a dozen times and walk away without taking a single photo because the light isn't quite there, the tide isn't right, or the weather hasn't done what you hoped.

Then one morning everything comes together for just a few minutes.

That's often the image that eventually becomes the artwork.

Looking at the finished piece, it's easy to think it all happened in an instant. In reality, it can be the result of years of returning to the same place, waiting for that one moment.

What do you think the most photographed tree in New Zealand would make of all the fuss?
