Original Art by Rei Hammon (deceased).
This was purchased in 1991 from a gallery in Hunters Corner - Auckland, and is in original condition having never been removed from the frame.
Picture represents an ethereal representation of a spider web reflecting the dew in the forest.
The background which when viewed from different places seems to be almost 3d in appearance, giving the impression that the viewer is looking down a tunnel of light that fades into the distance.
This is truly a one-of-a-kind painting by an amazing artist.
Francis Rei Paul Hamon CBE (17 December 1919 – 16 August 2008) was a New Zealand landscape artist. In 1976, his lithograph Jewels of Okarito was presented to Queen Elizabeth II by the New Zealand Government on the occasion of a state visit.
Hamon was born in 1919 the son of a white mother and a part-Maori father and grew up in Gisborne, New Zealand.[1]

Career
Utilizing a self-taught style of pointillism, Hamon's familiarity with the flora and fauna of the bush grew from the time that he worked splitting posts for sheep pens in the forests of the Urewera area.
Hamon was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire, for services to art, in the 1981 New Year Honours.[2] In 2010, a documentary on Hamon premiered, Rei Hamon: Man of Nature.[3]
