High Country Dawn
Been working out what will be going on this year. Looks like "High Country Dawn" will be my last available new painting for 2021. For those of you who haven’t seen this one, here it is.
High Country Dawn, Poolburn Dam, Central Otago, New Zealand
Original acrylic painting on cedar framed board by Michelle Bellamy
1200 x 600mm
Rich in layers of golden red hues, High Country Dawn features a old bus seemingly stuck permanently in place at Poolburn Dam. Poolburn Dam is nestled in a vast rolling landscape of unusual rock formations and is a popular spot for trout fishermen to spend some time trying their luck. The landscape was tinged in frost from a clear -11 degree autumn night and was completely peaceful as the dawn broke.
High Country Dawn just won the Hope and Sons Peoples Choice Award for 2020

Here is 'Back of Beyond', emerging over the final ridge before plunging down into the Arnst River valley you come across what seems like paradise.
Lull of the Tide
A long time in the works, but here it is, finally finished: Lull of the Tide, Ōrākei, Auckland.
Featuring six of the iconic boat sheds and two moorings, the painting is a serene depiction of the boat sheds on a calm day.
Studio news
Been slaving away at the easel for the past few weeks. Doing a lot of fine detail work on a couple of paintings. Looking forward to finishing them.
