New Zealand - South Island

This watercolor is 14 by 10 inches (35.6 by 25.4 cm). The subject is a view looking west in the Mackenzie District of the South Island of New Zealand. I painted it from a photo I took while visiting in 2001.

"New Zealand - South Island" - $80.00 It is available in my Etsy shop.

I am finally getting into the swing of this challenge. The first few paintings were very difficult because I had a hard time picking out the pictures I wanted to paint.

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".
