Boards and Coffee Noosa Ed. 7 of 50

This was the local board hire shop that served coffee and food to the tourists and surfers at the upper end of Hastings Street. Colourful and interesting and had to be painted before it disappeared.
Working from photographs to capture the morning sun hitting the surfboards and coffee van, I used pen & watercolours on Archers Watercolour Paper for the original painting.

Print Size including Mount 51cm x 41cm
