What inspired the TRAILS landscapes?

I loved the endless parade of amazing views on the Routeburn and my time on the trail. These paintings are all inspired by those happy moments. 
 
They meditate on the beauty of a hike through one of NZ's prettiest landscapes. and explore the diverse landscapes of the Routeburn Track; from the top of the world surrounded by giant peaks, or low in the valleys amongst the dewy alpine meadows & streams.

ACROSS THE VALLEY
The second day of the track took us through a beautiful alpine valley, towards the Harris Pass. The scenery was stunning and vibrant and only got better and better as we climbed.
