Origin
I have painted two aspects of Milford Sound, the central one of which is Mitre Peak. Tranquil and serene, the setting is breath-taking and is known worldwide as an important place for the tourist to visit when in the South Island of New Zealand.

The second aspect I have included in this work is the vegetation, which lies in abundance in the Sound, forming almost lush islands. This includes a variety of flax, small tulip shaped orange flowers and New Zealand toi-toi, amongst other varieties of plants. The whole forms a floral bank almost, across and surrounding Milford Sound. The vegetation acts as a foil to the water, which can shine like glass, when the weather is clear. Everything is very still in Milford Sound – almost unreal, our own Shangri-La.
