Rockpool Jumping V captures the exhilaration of childhood freedom on Victoria’s rugged coastline. Painted with a palette knife, the work is rich in texture and movement, with bold strokes conveying the energy of jumping from a large rock at Sorrento Back Beach. One figure is suspended mid-air, frozen in a moment of fearless joy as he leaps toward the rockpool below. The interplay of light on stone and water evokes the warmth and vitality of a summer’s day, celebrating spontaneity, friendship, and the timeless pull of the sea. The painting is presented in a natural oak shadow box frame, complementing the earthy tones and coastal atmosphere of the work.
