The Fairy Pools. Noosa National Park. Qld

This is another icon in the Noosa National Park. Its called The Fairy Pools which is a great spot for a swim on a hot day. When i was there on this day a couple of boys were having so much fun swimming and playing in the pools. I managed a quick colour sketch and few photos to do this bigger version in the studio. I am pretty happy with the finished painting. The thing that caught my attention were the colours of the pools and the blue skies. I used acrylics on stretched canvas. This would look great in any room it was displayed in
