Milford Sound

I was lucky enough to be able to go to New Zealand in January of 2001. I recently did this pastel from one of the photographs I took at Milford Sound in Fiordland National Park on the South Island. The picture was taken from the head of the fjord. If you have to chance to visit, do yourself a favor and go.

Milford Sound was created with soft pastels on sanded paper. The finished size is 9" by 12".
