South Bank Pool with City View

I painted this piece to capture the feeling of that summer morning at South Bank, the shimmer of turquoise water, the warmth rising off the pool, and the city slowly waking behind it. With bold, energetic brushstrokes, I wanted to capture the light, colour, and joy of a moment that felt unmistakably Brisbane!

Megan Stanley is an Australian artist. She lives in Brisbane, Queensland, where she paints various landscapes and natural scenes with impressionistic techniques. She uses colour, light, shade, and movement to create vivid and bold artworks that convey a visual experience matched with an iconic location. Looking beyond the brushstroke a place in time comes to life through colour and paint.

Having grown up across various regions along Australia's east coast—from the snow-capped peaks of the Snowy Mountains to the golden beaches of the Mid North Coast—I developed a deep appreciation for the rich colours and beauty found in natural landscapes. Inspired by the works of the Impressionists, especially Monet, I strive to capture the essence of these scenes through bold, expressive brushstrokes—each painting a vibrant impression of the world around me
