Central Otago Small Series
Evening Stay, Hawkdun Range, Central Otago, New Zealand"
Oil on a Cedar Framed Board / 500x500mm / Original oil painting by Caroline Bellamy
These farmstead huts sat peacefully, surrounded by the iconic Hawkdun Ranges as I explored this inspiring Central Otago area.
The way the evening light filtered through the passing clouds, highlighting the range caught my eye.
Often covered by snow in the winter this landscape is subject to extreme weather and it makes the place dramatic and exciting to travel through.
This is the first painting of a small series I am doing of the Central Otago area located in the South Island of New Zealand. I will be completing 8-10 paintings, 500x500mm in size capturing moments and scenes that keep drawing me back to explore more and more of the unique Central Otago Landscape.
