St Arnaud Ridge Painting

I’ve been keeping busy in the studio over the past few weeks, adding fine detail to current works and beginning to map out new scenes.
Pictured here is one of the paintings I’m currently working on - a depiction of one of the tarns catching the morning light on the St Arnaud Range above Parachute Rocks at Lake Rotoiti. This particular tarn sits to the far right (facing east) and feeds into Merry Stream and many of you may have looked down on it from the ridge above during a visit.
It’s still in the early stages, but I’m really enjoying how the morning light is beginning to take shape. With many more layers to come, I’m hoping to further draw out that luminous quality.
