Manly Beach

A Special Australian Landscape

The inspiration for this painting came from a visit to the Streeton Exhibition in Sydney, early 2021. Quite a number of Australian impressionists took to the beaches around Sydney and produced many notable paintings. This painting takes you to Manly Beach and a view across to Shelly Beach.

Painted with oil on canvas board, 30.5cm H x 40.6cm W

Roscoe Shelton is an emerging impressionist artist however he is anything but new to the world of art..
With a colourful and story-filled career behind him, Roscoe has been able to pick up the paint brush again in recent years and pursue his own passion for painting.
“I have always lived with art, so in a way it is not a retirement occupation, rather I now have time for a passion that was curated from a very young age.”
– Roscoe Shelton
With oil on canvas, Roscoe uses his art to draw you into experiencing a remote reality, whether it be the riverbeds and steep gorges of outback Arkaroola to the colours of sunrise reflected on the ocean horizon.
