Summer in Queenstown Calendar Art

Summer in Queenstown Framed Calendar Art

We were visiting the scenic town of Queenstown on my husbands work trip.  I captured this image whilst waiting for some friends who were on the gondola.  It is such an amazing town to visit and the scenery is so amazing.  The vista’s from the top of the gondola are breathtaking from all views and it is well worth the visit.  A painters dream!

 The original image has been filtered to bring out the rich autumn tones.   Clouds are a special interest of mine to paint as they are quite technical.  I love all of the different shapes – they have always intriqued me.  The colours of the clouds are quite different, in this painting.  However the colours work so cohesively together.  This was a challenging but very enjoyable painting to paint.

Futhermore I would like for all of my works to look consistent so I only use six or seven colours in my paintings.  I am trying to achieve harmony within the painting and my whole landscape series.

Thanks for viewing.
