Winter Colours

30 X 20in. oils on stretched canvas.

We were travelling through the centre of the South Island, New Zealand in winter and were dazzled by the bright orange plants against the brilliant blue lake and surrounding grey/brown foliage. It was certainly worth a photo stop.

It is a scene I have been wanting to paint for a while and thought it might fit into this Workshop 17.

Comment by Michael J. Severin on January 15, 2013 at 16:13: I like it, but cannot click the like button until the end of the month. I thought you did a great job on the distant mountains!!
