Oil on archival canvas mounted on board450 x 600mm unframed size$2000.00 with white, custom designed, double frame I was keen to paint this scene mainly because of the broody skies which are very powerful!

Oil on archival canvas mounted on Dibond permanent board490 x 610mm unframed size$2000.00 with white, custom designed, double frameFOR SALE This is a beautiful scene that I have taken a long time to paint! There is a lot of detail & a lot of interest in this scene which makes it interesting visually but also a challenge to paint, at least I found it so.. I have worked hard at trying to learn to paint clouds which looks easy but it isn’t & I wanted to have a larger percentage of sky in this painting from what I have done
Oil on archival canvas mounted on Dibond permanent board450 x 610mm unframed size$1600.00 with white, custom designed, double frameFOR SALE This painting started out as representation of a local waterfall. However, there was too much detail in the shrubbery above the waterfall which made the painting look too “busy” & the waterfall itself was “lost” amongst it all. I used some “artistic license” to make the waterfall the central focus & to bring what I believe is a better balance to the scene. I hope you like it!

It is located inland of Blenheim, between the Inland Kaikoura mountains to the
