This is a very personal painting of mine. I sat on the edge of Lake tekapo late one afternoon The day was coming to an end and the sun was behind some clouds and about to set behind the hill on the left. I sat by the waters edge and waited for around an hour to see if the sun would breakthrough a small gap where I could still see some sky. Up till that point everything was dull and lifeless.

As I waited it got darker and I thought the day was over, I was about to leave, then suddenly I saw a wave of light coming towards me. Everything started to glow and the mountains lit up bright orange and yellow. People came to the waters edge to admire the view. It was stunning! As quickly as the ray of light came, it started to pass.
