An exhibition of colour and creation is displayed at the Lakes District Museum after Arrowtown artist Pat Jones had a clear-out at her home.
The "Corridors and Passages" exhibition was opened on Friday and will run until September 16.
Mrs Jones said the works were an accumulation of "bits and pieces" from around her home and it was the first time she had put on an exhibition without a theme.
The name of the exhibition came when Mrs Jones had been gathering together the collection from the "corners" of her studio and reflected on the diversity of themes and styles.
"Nothing specific links the images in this exhibition; there are, instead, various corridors and passages of my imagination.
"It is all work that has piled up at home without being shown and I realised I actually had a bit of work.
"I had more than I thought."
There are 63 pieces on display, from 2008 to this year, and the paintings range from pears, to flowers and views of Coronet Peak.
Prices are set between $450 and $1900.
"I went through a bit of a pear phase - it all came from this one dried-up pear and now there are pears on butterfly wings."
Some of the paintings depict emulsion, where two substances do not mix.
This inspiration was not drawn from an afternoon in her laboratory coat - it was while eating lunch at a restaurant in Venice and watching the way balsamic vinegar interacted with oil.
She would like visitors to the exhibition to enjoy its diversity.
Mrs Jones has painted seriously for more than 15 years, but her passion dates back much further.
She works from her imagination, although Queenstown provides an inspiring backdrop for an artist at work.
She graduated from art school in 1984 and in 1989 studied at a New York studio school of painting, drawing and sculpture.
Originally from Dunedin, Mrs Jones moved to Arrowtown in 1993 and plans to stay in the town, in the occupation she loves.
