This shows seven views of the city where I was born. The main view in the top part of the painting is Wellington City seen from Mt Victoria, looking north-west. The wide view along the bottom of the painting is the view from Mt Victoria looking south-east towards the harbour entrance, Miramar, the airport, and Newtown. The five views in the ‘film-strip’ are, from left: 1. Blue boatshed at Evans Bay, 2. The Civic Square, Old Town Hall and a stylised pyramid, 3. The Beehive, home of the NZ Government, 4. City and harbour view from a balcony in Te Papa museum, 5. Lighthouse at Point Dorset.
