When I got the painting the name jogged my memory, and sifting through a stack of my "Art New Zealand" magazines I found an article entitled "Velvet Modernism: Kase Jackson in Rotorua ". There is a photo of him painting this very picture, including the model, and perhaps I'm being overly optimistic, but the patterns on the pareu seem to be an exact match for my version? I'd like to find out where the author sourced his pic to be sure. I'd post the article but it's about 4 pages and I dropped my scanner a year or so ago - I will update the thread when I find a new one.
