Summertime Blues and Greens

“Summertime Blues and Greens” is a landscape painting of a sunlit coastal scene in Byron Bay, where silhouetted pandanus trees cast shadows across the scultural sandstone.. Bright blue skies and deep, cooling shade create a striking contrast, capturing the atmosphere of a summer day on the Australian coast.
Inspired by time spent along the beaches of northern New South Wales, the painting is as much about atmosphere as place. Familiar elements of the coastal landscape are distilled into a quiet, slightly dreamlike scene, inviting the viewer to pause and linger in the moment.
