New Zealand
“I am a New Zealander. That is not just my nationality; it is, I admit, a state of mind. I am so absorbed in this country that being a New Zealander has become a sort of profession for me. For much of the time it fills my days and demands my time…. I mean I paint the place; I write about it; I fight for the preservation of its countryside. I am happiest by its lakes and rivers. I am besotted by it.”
Peter McIntyre, 1979. McIntyre Country.
