Austinmer Beach I

This painting captures one of those hidden Australian coves that feels like a secret discovery, with its perfect crescent of white sand nestled between dramatic headlands. I love how the deep blue water reveals its incredible clarity – that’s something so distinctive about many Australian beaches compared to others around the world. The solid, enduring quality of the headland creates a natural protective embrace around the small beach, giving the scene a sense of sanctuary. This is Australia at its most serene and timeless – where the ancient land meets the eternal sea.
