Evening Shadows; Nelson Hills, New Zealand

As the sun dips low over the Nelson Hills at day’s end, the light sharpens and shadows stretch long across the landscape, turning hills into sculpture and air into gold.

This piece captures that fleeting moment when everything softens and deepens, a hush falls, the colours mellow, and form becomes feeling. With its rich contrasts and dreamy layers, it invites reflection and stillness, like nature exhaling before nightfall.

A painting for lovers of golden hour and the quiet kind of drama only evening can bring.

How Your Original Will Arrive — and What to Do Next

This is an original artwork, created by the artists hands using soft pastels, a natural medium composed of pure pigment, clay, and a binder. These pastels (Rembrandt and Sennelier) are lightfast, permanent, and chemical-free, offering a life time of colour and depth.

“Degas used soft pastels in his ballerina series (1880s), the originals remain as vibrant today as the day he painted them.”

Because of its value and delicacy, the artwork is not framed before delivery. This reduces the carbon footprint as well as ensures:

• The surface is protected from pressure and vibration during shipping

• You can work with a trusted local framer to choose the right frame for your space and style

• The artwork stays in its best possible condition until it’s safely behind glass 

  Please do not attempt to flatten or frame the artwork yourself. Originals must be carefully unrolled and mounted by a professional framer to avoid creasing, smudging, or damage.

This is the beginning of your role as its curator, the artwork has travelled from the artist’s hands to yours. Let it be framed with care and intention, ready to hold its place in your world.
