Over the past 12 months, Mark Bellringer has travelled around the region, visiting picturesque places in Taranaki.
He's captured some of the landscapes he's seen in the form of oil paintings for his new exhibition 'From the last 12 months' showing at Fenton Street Art Collective.
The exhibition features about 20 landscapes from Eltham, to Whangamomona.
"I live in Eltham and I've always really loved Bridge Street. I travelled around the region on my motorbike. I also did a lap of the South Island in the past 12 months as well so there's an oil painting of a view I saw down there."
Mark completed the paintings out of his home studio at The Bank Eltham. He says owning an old building has given him an appreciation of old places and buildings around the region.
