Back of Beyond is another piece of paradise not far from home. After scrabbling along rocks with expansive views to the eastern Raglan Range, you traverse up a climb, as you crest the saddle this view awaits. The original painting is 1m x 1m and the owners of this one are enthusiastic ski tourers. These tarns freeze over in winter and it makes for a great ski basin. I have decided to release this as a limited edition print on your choice of fine art paper. This is also one of the largest prints that I have released, with the biggest image size being 900 x 900mm.

After quite some time I have completed 'Endless Evening at Lake Alexandrina'. Having visited the lake many times, this long calm evening pictured in the painting has been the most memorable. I arrived late on a balmy autumn afternoon having never visited before, and it was simply stunning, not a breath of wind with the last golden leaves grasping onto the tree branches. Time seemed eternal as the sun slowly sank behind the hills. More visits over the years...
