Mitre Peak Grey

Mitre Peak Grey - Original Painting | Meg Cummins

The sheer, staggering scale of Piopiotahi (Milford Sound) is captured in this ethereal watercolour study of Mitre Peak. Meg Cummins utilises a restricted grey and earthy palette to portray the mountain as it often appears shrouded in the low-hanging cloud and mist typical of Fiordland’s dramatic climate.

Through a delicate wet-on-wet technique, the peak’s sharp silhouette emerges softly from the haze, contrasting with the rich, saturated tones of the forest and shoreline below. The textured, deckle-edged paper adds a tactile dimension to the work, echoing the raw and untamed nature of the South Island’s rugged wilderness.

A serene and atmospheric original work that distils one of New Zealand’s most majestic alpine landmarks into a quiet, poetic moment of mountain stillness.
