From the artist: This work is based from a solo “Art Walk” that I did in the summer of 1999 from Queenstown to Timaru. I painted as I journeyed through the high country, camping out or staying in huts and avoiding roads and people and focusing on the spectacular scenery. I was confronted by this extraordinary landscape one day and painted it from memory and a photograph years later (2006/7).
