Living in Brisbane, we're lucky that we have a choice of going north or south and feeling sand between our toes at some of Australia's best beaches - an hour's drive away. This is a reproduction of a photo I snapped on my iPhone one evening while taking a mini-break at Broadbeach at the Gold Coast. When I went through my photos I was inspired to paint this one - loving the reflections on the water as the tide washed in and that you can almost feel the sea breeze with the flapping of the flag in the foreground.
