Description
I love the calm this retreat offers, the lagoon refreshing with every tide, water warmed by the sun on the sand, and lovely sandstone to perch on. In the background the forest offers a delicious cool retreat and a bench to enjoy the vista.
The deep rich blues and greens of the forest and lagoon reflections are contrasted with the warmth of the sandstone and forest bench. Delicate pinks, blues and corals form the sky and distant mountains. The warm light curls into the tafoni teasing out the deep rich colours of the shadows.
Drawing you into it’s warmth, this realistic, romantic and a touch mystical painting transports you into the lagoon’s calming embrace.
Acrylic on stretched canvas. The scene continues around all four edges of the painting, so framing is a choice, not a necessity.
