Shelly Cove Bunker Bay

Inspired by the spectacular eroded cliffs, rocky shoreline and crystal clear waters seen at beautiful Shelly Cove Beach, Bunker Bay, Western Australia.
I was interested in how the bold ruggedness of the cliffs and rocky shoreline contrasted against the pretty peach colours in the soft sand and how the sand colours were complementary to the turquoise seawater hues. Many transparent glazes of colour were built up to achieve depth and colours of the turquoise seawater.
The painted image continues over the sides and matches the front of the artwork.
The artwork is presented in a light colour natural timber float frame and ready to hang on your wall.
"Shelly Cove, Bunker Bay" is a statement piece that will create an uplifting and peaceful feeling for the viewer and enhance any living space.
