Town On The Beach

Town On The Beach, 2010. (Oil on canvas, 91x51cm)

I have finished another of my "town" paintings and this one I am particularly happy about. I have tried to paint the town landscape I usually do, but influenced with Queensland, its architecture and nature. I have placed the town right on the sand beach in between ocean and blue skies. Sometimes when I look at it I can't tell if it's night time or day time in it because birds turn into stars!
