From My Easel
I'm often drawn to the path to the beach almost as much as the beach itself.
There is something about that first glimpse of blue beyond the dunes - the anticipation of reaching the water, with sandy feet, coastal scrub brushing the edges of the path and the sound of the ocean getting closer.
In Dune Shadows, it was the shadows that really caught my attention. The strong coastal light created beautiful cool blues and mauves across the warm sand, giving me an opportunity to push the colour a little and paint quite freely. I loved allowing the brushstrokes to remain visible, particularly through the sandy path and unruly dune vegetation.
The ocean only occupies a small part of the painting, but for me it is what everything leads towards.
This piece is less about a particular view and more about a familiar coastal feeling - that little journey through the dunes before the beach opens up in front of you.
About This Composition
Dune Shadows is an expressive Australian coastal landscape capturing a sandy pathway winding through windswept dunes towards the ocean.
Rich blues and turquoise contrast with warm sandy pinks, ochres and earthy coastal vegetation, while loose, visible brushwork gives the painting a wonderfully textural quality. A celebration of the often-overlooked beauty found on the path to the sea.
