First Light on Little Cove Ed. 7 of 50

Little Cove Beach inspired me from an early morning walk during Covid. No people, no footprints on the beach and total solitude. I worked from photographs using watercolour and pen on Archers hot pressed watercolour paper in soft shades to create this morning delight on usually a very popular Noosa Beach.

The original painting was a finalist in the 2023 Clayton Utz Awards run by the Lethbridge Gallery and sold during this exhibition. Painting sized prints on Fine Art Paper available on request

Print Size including Mount 51cm x 41cm
Actual Print Size 37cm x 25cm
