This painting captures the last touch of Autumn sunlight highlighting the grass with the expansive Hawkdun Range basking in the background.
These little buildings are scattered around the edge of Fall's Dam, some still being used as fisherman huts while others fade slowly into the past.
Fall's Dam is a breathtakingly quiet and peaceful escape. On this still evening only the sound of a few distant sheep intermittently broke the silence.

Emerging over the final ridge before plunging down into the Arnst River valley you come across what seems like paradise. The Paratītahi Tarns sit together, nestled in a gentle rolling basin of tussock with a glimpse of Mt Chittenden (2205m) in the far distance.
This painting is a labour of love. Many many hours were spent shaping the golden contours, detailing the scree slopes and blending the blues to take you back towards the distant mountains. Every day working on this painting took me up into the ranges and I hope it takes you there too.
