The Boathouse, Noosa River / acrylic on canvas

The Boathouse, Noosa River // acrylic // 51x51cm (available from Montville Art Gallery)

Although I have seen this view countless times from the Pirate Playground and from the Yacht Club, it was only when I started painting it did I really "see" what this view was like. I hadn't fully realised that in the distance were the apartments near Quamby place, nor that parts of the Catalina blended with the Boathouse itself when views from the shoreline. What I really wanted to capture with this painting though, were the reflections and the intense sunset colours we get during autumn and winter. A real magical part of the world.
