'Wanaka Night Fall'

Original round bokeh oil painting

As night falls over Wanaka, the town's lights come to life. Stretched beyond the lakeshore, a carpet of bokeh from car, street and house lights creates a mesmerising view.

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'.
