The road to Seacliff

The road into Seacliff in South Australia is rather steep, but presents an amazing view of the beach and sea.
This day shadows were being cast on the sea and the white sails of racing boats really stood out. Beyond the shadows the sea shone in turquoise.

Yacht on a beach
















As the race ended at Seacliff the boats came to shore in an orderly fashion ensuring that there was little mayhem on the beach as sails were unfolded and vessels towed away.

After the race - Seacliff
















I just happened to be at the right place at the right time at Seacliff today. It was one of those days were the sun was popping in and out of the clouds which produces a patchwork of shadows across the sea and beach. Boats started to come in after the race and started to pack in for the day on the beach. It was an inviting sight that begged to be painted. This is the first of the series of Seacliff.

Yachts and beach










Yachts add so much to a beach scene. The white sales that dazzle in the sunlight contrast with the blue-green of the sea and the blue of the sky.

Bay of Beaches



Bay of Beaches - acrylic on canvas - 30x14cm
The second in the series of this size painting, it depicts a bay with seemingly unending beaches. There is something cosy about a bay and yet it can have an huge ampitheartre effect especially when there are big skies to be looked at. Objects on the other side of the bay look far away but once you start walking you are there in no time at all!
