Artwork Description

Oil on stretched canvas, ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

The northern end of North Avoca Beach, embraced by the vast expanse of the ocean, held a certain allure as the morning sun began its ascent.

The cloudy morning painted the sky with shades of grey and purple, lending an air of mystery and anticipation to the scene. The clouds hung low, seemingly hovering above the horizon, as if nature itself was preparing for the grand unveiling.

As the sun peeked over the horizon, its warm golden rays pierced through the cloud cover, casting a radiant glow upon the ocean and rocks. The previously dim and subdued colours of the landscape were instantly transformed into a vibrant palette. The water shimmered and sparkled as if adorned with countless diamonds, while the rocks stood steadfast, their rugged formations highlighted in the gentle morning light.

The reflection of the sun danced upon the still water, of the Rockpool in the foreground, creating a mesmerising play of light and shadow. Each ripple and undulation revealed intricate patterns, drawing the eye deeper into the world of the rock pools.

The rhythmic ebb and flow, accompanied by the soothing sound of crashing waves, added a dynamic element to the serene morning scene. It was as if nature had crafted its own masterpiece, combining the raw power of the ocean with the tranquil beauty of the rocks.
In this moment of revelation, the sublime beauty of a new day unfolded before my eyes.

It was a reminder of the ever-changing and harmonious interplay between land, sea, and sky, and a gentle nudge to embrace the boundless possibilities that each new day brings.

Witnessing such a scene, one couldn't help but be captivated by the majesty of the rising sun and the unveiling of nature's intricate tapestry. It was a reminder to pause, to breathe, and to cherish the fleeting moments of beauty that grace our lives each day.

The back waters of our local lagoon (Avoca Lagoon) secludes itself from visitors and tourists. Even locals sometimes.
 Far from the crashing beach entrance and the energetic dogs and noise of the children, this is where the quietness of water, light and shadows come to rest around sleepy islands. 
All different physical elements but all appear to be in peaceful balance with each other.  Time to sit, draw and let the surroundings paint themselves. 

All the elements seem to be sharing part of themselves with each other and the shadows are only extensions of light, water and a mirage of an island. Phantoms of a physicality that draws you into illusions of light, space, shade and shadows. 
The Back Waters have their own magic that is best experienced without the crowds and a timepiece.
This painting has been inspired by the view from the lookout  (Lincoln Rock) at Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains NSW.  It forms  part of the Blue Mountain Series series of that relates to the blue mountains.

The afternoon shadows  envelop most of the landscape, imparting a sense of tranquility and quietude.  However, the higher peaks and hills in the distance are untouched by the shadows. Bathed in  golden light, these elevated forms seem to emanate warmth and radiance. The light, elegantly traces its way across the  terrain and extends  to the distant ridges.  

In the foreground, small native shrubs,  red grevillea and yellow 
 wattle, stretch out beneath the observer's feet. 
Their textured details  contrast against the backdrop of the deep  and shaded valley.   

The tranquility of the valley, the radiant hills, and the gnarly native shrubs collectively inspire a sense of awe and wonder.Horizontal Lily  pads floating in a blue Pond.
