Happy Australia Day

Surf - watercolour - 30 x 22 inches - SOLD
Happy Australia Day!  This painting is a watercolour I did about 12 years ago when we were living in Australia.  We lived on the Surf Coast not far from Bells beach where the Rip Curl surf championships were held annually.  Watching surfing really excited me, and I painted a lot of surfing watercolours back then. I thought i'd post it incelebration of Australia Day, which is today January 26th. (thanks to Michael Perchard 's blogpost which reminded me of it today)

  2. Thank you Barbara! It resides somewhere in Australia now...but it is nice to go backwards in the archives now and then to see older works. this made me smile because, i could remember the excitement of painting it...splashing those intense blues on the paper outside on the deck because it was dripping all over the place! fun...the passion of it all....!!!
