▶︎ ABOUT THE PAINTING:
"With its distinctive and architecturally significant Art Deco pavilion, Newcastle Ocean Baths is one of the city's outstanding historic landmarks and is a popular informal open air studio for amateur photographers." exert taken from the www.visitnsw.com website. Back in 2016, I was one of these photographers taking in the sights of the baths and the surrounding ocean shoreline.

The Newcastle Ocean Baths painting is the outcome of this visit. Whilst it isn't a representational painting of the icon of Newcastle, the aquas and southern ocean blue represent the sea water and the ochres, gold and yellows are reminiscent of the surrounding sandy beach and rocks. If you look closely you will see the swimming lane lines and small pockets of families enjoying their time at the baths.
