Afternoon Hush at the Hawkduns, features one of the little fisherman huts that are part of the old village that resides at Fall’s Dam in Central Otago. This painting was inspired by a poem by Brian Turner called Nor’Wester which describes the overbearing sun and the brisk wind moving the dry grasses. This scene is at the end of such a day, the moment when the wind finally weakens, the sunlight softens and if you stand still you are enveloped in a hush of stillness.

Sold at the Parnell Gallery as part of the "Layers of Aotearoa" exhibition.
After travelling along an almost endless, dusty gravel road the landscape spits you out at a little fishing hamlet. Overlooking Falls Dam, the little fisherman huts are very basic, a shelter from the weather and not much else. This one, alone and a little more neglected this time stood out in front of the impressive Hawkdun Range. The Hawkdun Range is part of the Oteake Conservation Park and can be summited via Mt Ida, 1690m.
