Moving into another mountain range

October 02, 2019

Moving back high into the mountains. Working on a new Paratitahi tarn painting, will show the progress soon. These large and attractive tarns lie in a glacial basin at the head of the Arnst River at an altitude of 1650m. They are both remote and magical yet easily visited on the St Arnaud Range.

Winter Solstice

June 23, 2020

No snow at all on the peaks, and this is the shortest day of the year!!! Can’t complain, it felt like late summer up there. The colours were spectacular, now to mix up some paint colours while the palette is fresh in the memory!
