Dunstan Mountains Beyond Poolburn Dam, Central Otago, New Zealand
Original acrylic painting on cedar framed board by Michelle Bellamy
1000 x 600mm
Completed 2020

This painting is part of the 'Layers Of Aotearoa' exhibition. Exhibiting together for the first time, ‘Layers of Aotearoa’ brings together new paintings by sisters Caroline and Michelle Bellamy, and their father Steve Bellamy.
Come and view this painting on Tuesday 20th October 5:30-7pm (RSVP) at the Parnell Gallery.
