Afternoon Patrol is inspired by Tonia's love of the ocean and people interacting with nature. It is a typical summer’s day on an Australian beach; people swimming in the surf and having fun under the watchful eyes of the lifesavers. Their vivid red and yellow uniforms in the foreground call for the viewer’s attention and complement the pale mint greens of the ocean. Wendy (Tonia’s fictional character with the catch cry "Where's Wendy?" appears in many of her paintings), is seen here coming out of the water in her red bikini.

The painting is intended to give the viewer happy memories and thoughts of summer at the beach.
