This was one of my first larger scale pieces and I really wanted it to be special. Byron Bay is an easy weekend drive from home and whenever we visit I'm struck by the majesty of the lighthouse on the hill. The photo I based this on inspired me with the sheerness of the hillside and the lighthouse against the evening sky. I omitted a lot of the visitors from the painting but you can just make out two people on the hillside and imagine it's just you and your favourite person enjoying some solitude in this amazing part of the world. Or maybe just you and one of the Hemsworth brothers that live nearby (that could happen).
