In ‘Are you sure this is the way?’ I wanted to capture the magic of this place – or any place that you discover for the first time – the seemingly long journey through the dark forest, wondering where on earth your friend is taking you. Just as you begin to think ‘maybe we should turn back’, some glimmers of aqua and pearly sand shine through the towering gums, and your pace excitedly picks up as you descend towards the magical beach. ‘Are you sure this is the way?’ has been painted loose and playfully, using gestural marks and layers of colour showing through to enhance the dance between the shadows and light. I wanted the beach to invite you in, ready to take your shoes off and touch the water.
