I had seen this painting and automatically knew it was done by someone well trained in their craft. I could read the name and I looked on the back of the piece and it was also signed. Aston Greathead was a New Zealand artist. This piece is on canvas board and measures 12/18”

    The scene is Traveling East Through The Haast Pass, Westland

    Thank you sincerely I need help! He is most certainly a well known artist. Very lovely works from him. He passed away in 2012 unfortunately.
