Lady Emily in the Cass

January 01, 2024

Lady Emily in the Cass
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you are excited for what 2024 may bring and are planning lots of exciting adventures!
For those of you who don’t know I’m an artist who loves spending time outdoors and soaking up the natural environment. Over the past 2 years I have been working on a painting of Lady Emily Hut in the Cass in the Glenmore Station near Lake Tekapo. 
Built by the Murray family the hut is situated above the main valley on a ridge with expansive views all around. The snowy peaks in the background tower to 2433m and feed into fresh streams that flow on either side of the ridge that the hut sits on and eventually water fall over the edge to the valley floor.
When I visited the Cass it was rainy, claggy and even lightly snowed one night, but one evening the clouds suddenly lifted, the sun intermittently peaked out, I was off. I made a mad dash to Lady Emily and was chasing the setting sun up the ridge as the clouds blew away. So here the painting is finally completed.

Lake Emma - progression

The reflections on the water will be a challenge. I want to retain some softness here as to not take attention away from the intricately detailed mountain range above. In particular the shadow play on Mt Potts and snow detail on the surrounding peaks.

Lake Emma - New Painting

May 29, 2025

The Lake Emma painting is evolving into a masterpiece of gorgeous colour and detail. At 1200 x 700mm the space in this new work is allowing me to incorporate some very intricate detail in the mountains, and will allow me to also paint the fine sun-lit tussocks in the foreground.
The colours in the new Lake Emma painting are an exquisite blend
