Painting it, that is, not climbing on it for that long! - Kelly Southee Art
76×51cm
If anyone knows the whereabouts of this painting then please contact me. It was loaned to a Brisbane business in 2002, but went missing some time later. I don’t know if it’s a compliment to have someone steal a painting but it is sorely missed.

High on the Tibetan Plateau
From my journey into the mountain Cho Oyu in Tibet, in 2001. This artwork was completed when I moved to America after the Tibetan expedition. The piece then travelled back to Australia, before being purchased by a Swedish art collector. My impression of a far away plateau has become a very well travelled piece of art - Kelly Southee Artist
