Joining the Race by Yvonne Rust – 1990

 

At Opua, in the Bay of Islands in Northern New Zealand, every Wednesday there were local yacht races and because Yvonne Rust lived in Opua, virtually on the waterfront (from 1986 until 1998), they became a subject for her painting very often. This painting is one of the Wednesday Night race series.
