French Ridge Hut

Fine art print on 310gsm fine art paper. Printed in Wānaka

A little bit about this piece! I visited French Ridge in 2022 with my Wānaka Pals in 2022. French ridge hut is located in the Mt Aspiring National Park about 17km up the valley. It was such an epic spot! I really wanted to create artwork of the hut so took a bunch of reference photos but it was one of those illustrations that just wasn't working out..I couldn't make it look good! Anyhow, I left it for a few months and then came across the file in my folders randomly and decided to take another look with fresh eyes. I ended up making it a night time scene and all of sudden it came to life! It's now one of my favourite pieces. Obviously its not 100% accurate representation and I exaggerated the mountain in the background a little to make it more dramatic but what the hell I have artistic license hehe.
