Park in Portugal is an original acrylic on canvas (230 × 305 mm) by New Zealand artist Max Thomson. A figure sits quietly on a park bench, a pram beside them, dappled shadow falling across the sandy ground at their feet. Behind, tall trees rise into a deep canopy of green, their pale trunks catching the light. It is a painting of an ordinary moment — unhurried, unguarded — rendered with the kind of attentiveness that makes the everyday feel worthy of contemplation.
Born in Wanganui in 1945, Thomson has spent a lifetime looking closely at the world around him. Here his eye turns to southern Europe, finding in a Portuguese park the same qualities he seeks in the New Zealand landscape — stillness, light, and the quiet rhythms of human life lived close to the land.
