Golden Evening, Bruny Island

This watercolour captures the warm glow of sunset over Daniels Bay on Bruny Island, Tasmania. The still water reflected shades of gold, rose, and soft violet, while a few birds rested on a fallen branch in the middle of the bay, silhouetted against the light. It was one of those moments where nature slows down, inviting you to pause and simply look.

I painted this using Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolours on handmade 300gsm Khadi rough paper. The fine pigments bring out rich, lasting colours, and the textured surface of the paper gives the light on water a soft, shimmering quality.

I hope this painting carries the peace of that Tasmanian evening to wherever it finds its home.

I am a watercolour artist based in Tasmania, where the natural beauty of the landscape inspires much of my work. Surrounded by mountains, coastlines, and changing skies, I find endless inspiration in the colours and texture of the world around me. Through my art, I hope to invite viewers to slow down, appreciate the beauty of nature, and perhaps see familiar landscapes in a new light.
