Mitre Peak

 

When we were on tour in the South Island in February we were lucky enough to play in Milford Sound, be taken out into the sound on a boat and visit the very magical underwater fish observatory.  When we arrived there in the early evening the light was very magical and I snapped a fuzzy picture of Mitre Peak on my phone, to capture the colours.  I knew I wanted to turn it into a painting so the last couple of months I've been working on it, with half my bedroom floor covered in a drop cloth and strewn with paints.  And here it is hanging in our lounge:

You can see how very full of granny squares our couch is...at one stage we had so many granny square rugs we had to keep some of them in the car!

I'm having fun doing some landscape painting...I think next up will be one of the Manukau Heads!
