Places I’d like be – Milford Sound in New Zealand

Early morning at Milford Sound 20 inches by 14

Hi All

It seems a long time ago now that we enjoyed a wonderful touring and golfing holiday with great friends in New Zealand.

Wherever you go the scenery is stunning and in both the North Island and in the South Island we saw wonderful sights that will always live in our memory.

Although we do hope to return there I thought recently that based on some of the photos from that trip  that I would try and paint a watercolour of Milford Sound early in the morning as the sun burst through the mountains. Milford Sound is one of many fjord in the Soth west corner of New Zealand’s South island. The trip to it is amazing and a boat trip right out to the sea when you are there is a definite “must do”.

The watercolour is 20 by 14 inches and is painted on Arches NOT 300gsm paper, and mainly with Daniel Smith watercolour paints.

Maybe it will hasten our return to this wonderful place that is, alas, so far away from the UK.

I hope you enjoy seeing my effort.

Happy travelling

Brian
