'Invercargill's Night Show'

Original round bokeh oil painting

Watching nightfall from the top of the bottom of the world - lights converge as the views reach out to the north along Invercargill's Dee St/North Road. The night does indeed put on a great show: lights, camera and then all the action back in the studio as Mel applies paint to canvas.

This painting by New Zealand bokeh artist Mel McKenzie, celebrates the beautiful properties of light through her distinctive blurry lens.

The 'blurry light'/bokeh evokes a sense of wistful nostalgia. The soft focus gives the painting an air of abstraction and conveys a message of hope, in the ways light finds its way through to you, with the beauty of taking the focus off 'sharp edges' and 'gritty details'.
