Scenic Route

Acrylic on canvas
1040 x 1040mm framed - natural wood

Scenic Route is a luminous original painting from Kirsty Nixon’s Roadies collection, capturing the quiet poetry of a New Zealand road trip through the Banks Peninsula. In the foreground, a familiar curve of tarmac bends gently into view, edged with well-known road signs that mark the way.

Beyond the roadside, sunlit hills rise in warm golden tones, their contours softened by distance and punctuated with pockets of native green bush nestled in every crease and fold. The composition evokes that fleeting moment of awe on a drive — when the light hits just right, and a familiar landscape feels newly seen.
