Capturing the last breath of sunlight bathing the Hawkdun Range in Central Otago is: Falling Dusk at the Hawkduns by Nelson artist Michelle Bellamy. This is the sister painting to Before Dusk. Both these paintings explore the subtle changes in light as dusk approaches.
This painting is rich with layers of ochre, reds and burnt sienna complemented by soft blues. Many, many rich colour layers were built up over time to try and achieve that evening 'glow'. The Hawkdun Range is part of the Oteake Conservation Park and can be summited via Mt Ida, 1690m.

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.
