"Ice-Age Wanaka" completed (?)


Believe it or not, this painting started out based on a Wanaka photo... I got as far as laying down the sky and water, then realised how cool the mountains looked in stark white. So I decided to turn them into icy Antarctic mountains and went from there. There is more sky than is visible here - I had to crop it due to the photo not being quite square-on. I also think the white in the fore-ground works better in real life then in the photo, where it just takes attention away. Maybe it would be a problem in a frame?
