Mitre Peak. Milford Sound. New Zealand

Mitre Peak is a well known, well visited icon of the Fiordland landscape in New Zealand. A quick visit before Christmas saw me taking many photographs of Milford Sound and surrounding area. The size and steepness of the peaks that rise from the depths of the ocean are truly mesmerizing, leaving a feeling of being a truly insignificant human being amidst such grandeur. I wanted to express the energy of such a place, my bold application of thick buttery oil paint with large palette knife satisfied that need.
