Sailing Sydney Harbour 2

This is part of the Nautical Blue series.
The iconic Sydney Opera House is rendered in naïve impressionistic style in a elegant palette of dark blue (with a hint of green) and white.

The metallic gold leaf highlights the Sydney Opera House and several small sailing boats across the Sydney harbour.
The blues have been gently layered and built up to create the surf and sky. The gold leaf embellishments change and shimmer in a change of lighting and as you walk by the canvas.

This artwork is stretched and ready to hang.
A similar artwork can be created on 2 or 3 panels and in any size.
