Summertime Blues and Greens

'Summertime Blues and Greens' is a landscape painting of a sunlit coastal scene in Byron Bay, featuring silhouetted pandanus trees casting shadows over sandy ground. Summertime Blues and Greens explores the striking contrasts of bright skies and deep, cooling shade, it captures the atmosphere of a sunny Australian beach day.

Inspired by time spent along the beaches and lakes of the north coast of New South Wales, this painting invites viewers into this moment of quiet reflection, a space where the natural world feels both familiar and slightly dreamlike.
