Silence at Sundown captures the last touch of Autumn sunlight highlighting the grass with the expansive Hawkdun Range basking in the background.
These little buildings are scattered around the edge of Fall’s Dam, some still being used as fisherman huts while others fade slowly into the past.
Fall’s Dam is a breathtakingly quiet and peaceful escape. On this still evening only the sound of a few distant sheep intermittently broke the silence.

Michelle Bellamy is a contemporary painter living in Nelson, specialising in capturing the New Zealand landscape with exquisite detail.

An avid mountaineer, Bellamy takes inspiration from exploring the corners and nooks of New Zealand’s lakes and surrounding inhabited landscapes. Back in the studio she creates meticulously detailed large and mid-scale paintings in acrylic on board. Her captivating geographic representations register and acknowledge a human presence on the landscape through the inclusion of familiar features such as South Island cribs and huts, set amongst exquisitely rendered tussock grasses and native flora. Bellamy’s precision brushwork and skilful layering of colour serves to intensify the clarity of New Zealand’s natural light and beauty.
