Summertime Blues and Greens

"Summertime Blues and Greens" is a landscape painting of a sunlit coastal scene in Byron Bay, featuring silhouetted pandanus trees casting long shadows over sandy ground. Cool blues and vibrant greens evoke a tranquil summer day at the beach, with a flattened perspective and dramatic light contrast. Summertime Blues and Greens explores the striking contrasts of bright skies and deep, cooling shade, it captures the atmosphere of a sunny Australian beach day, the kind where light and shadow dance across sand and tree trunks, and time feels suspended in a  moment of stillness.

Inspired by time spent along the beaches and lakes of the north coast of New South Wales, this painting reflects on the liminal spaces between light and dark, presence and memory.

"Summertime Blues and Greens" invites viewers into this moment of quiet reflection, a space where the natural world feels both familiar and slightly dreamlike.
