New Zealand Art for Sale

Welcome to my Website. Hello,  I am Daryl Lex Price - NZ Artist,  Inventor,  Maker of the finest malt whiskies, Whisky Smuggler, Pirate...         

You need to love being an artist to make it work for yourself and it's true .. you need to be a bit nuts. If you are motivated solely by money .. you will soon starve to death, it would be better to follow a career in accounting or tow truck driving. Do not expect your motivations to be understood by anyone, least of all yourself or those around you. The fact is, the true artist can exist anywhere as a figment of their own imagination.
So .. now you're here to buy NZ art ..  right? COOL! buy mine. Or ask me to paint something for you especially.
I will carefully package and courier an original artwork painting to you anywhere in the world, If you are local, you are welcome to pick up from my Art Studio in Kawau Bay, Auckland.

I will accept
Cash for art / Credit Cards for art / Trade for art / Swap for art/ Lay by art/ time payment for art ... just
about anything for art

Make an offer on any painting or you may have something to trade? I am keen to talk, pay off an artwork monthly? I would much rather see my NZ art for sale on your wall than in a gallery or at my studio.

A sketch in oils of my floating Pirate painting studio and art smuggling exhibitions ship... currently under construction using recycled corrugated iron from Kevin's shed, carved from iron and wood by myself and a Hobbit as assistant. (And they said I was mad .. ha ha them!) It will be fitted with a Pterodachdaryl wing sail.

Propped up like the subject in a Salvador Dali painting. A corrugated iron artwork by Daryl Lex Price. Length is 40 feet .. or just over 12 meters I think, width at it's widest is 1.8 metres. I hope it is legal to build art like this, I lie in bed at night worrying about it ..

The 'poop style deck' of the pirate ship, waiting for some attention.

"Hello, I am Effie Trinket, from 'The Hunger Games' movie. I am only a painting hand made by Daryl but I just love him and what he is doing with his Pirate Ship. If you buy a NZ painting by Daryl, it will help finish this floating artwork! .. he has promised to take me over the oceans and show me the decadent ways of a pirate artist... I am SO excited! "

Experimenting? with some graphics and colour added.

The cavernous space inside my ship.. well big enough for somewhere to sleep, a pizza oven, some treasure and a few bottles of cheap pirate whisky.

Hi Daryl.This 'Murial' is so fantastic. It was such a privilege to be staying at Maison de Matriesse and watching its creation in the making. Viewing it has brought back many fantastic memories of our stay and of 'meeting the artist', disrupting you on a fairly regular basis, drinking lots of wine, and watching Americas Cup races with you!

You are very very talented and Amanda is so lucky to have this brilliant 'Murial' celebrating friends and good times. Wendy Brackenridge a.k.a. Mrs Higgins.

I absolutely LOVE this artist! Looking at his stuff is like snorting horseradish with your senses... LOL!

Your art reminds me of Van Gogh and Munch,these two artists have the ability to portray the soul and the spirit. Another common thing with both of them is they are living in the Hyperperceptive state a condition experienced by geniuses and prepsychotics he he, you're a GENIUS!  ( Hey Sherwin, not sure if I understand all of this but would you email my brother with a copy of this!)

okay, i'm just going to say it. you are my Vincent van Gogh. i live in America, and your work captivates me. i am a designer and writer, but i've always loved art and feel truly blessed to have found an artist in my lifetime whose work is a complete expression of what i love. there. i said it. i am saving my money to buy my first original from you, but until then I'll be showing your site to everyone i can.

'Land Of The Coasters' - Glorious depiction of our west coast, curious that it's not the typical fierce, wild and rugged usual portrayal, but it roars at me 'Where The Wild Things Are'. Intentional or not, I love it! Can't imagine anything more wondrously wild to evoke the wildness of our west coast. Alex's adventures and your painting now hand in hand in my mind, forever 'Land Of The Wild Things'...ha!

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 Nice portrait! (Age) It's nice to see someone who knows how to draw on this site, instead of all that phoney abstract stuff.

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 I love this portrait! It makes me smile. If I had this picture, I'd be looking at it a lot! He looks like he's winding up to tell a story or a joke. You've captured that moment when he seems to be determining if the listener will appreciate his words or not. What fun to imagine what he might be ready to share. Thank you.
