#Available, #MtCookLupins, #helenblairsart,

It took several layers to build up to the vibrant colours, by starting with a dark underlay,  but it all came together when the final highlights went on. I also worked hard to keep my colours pure by not letting other colour into the mix especially for the flowers. I remember seeing these flowers along the roadside leading up to Mt Cook, was a breathtaking sight to see.
