Commission: Robe Town Beach

Late last year I was commissioned to do a painting of Robe Town Beach. It was completed earlier this year - end of May. For those of you who saw the progress shots and would like to see the final finished piece.

Ta-DA! :D

Like most of my paintings, "my babies", I'm really proud of this piece, particularly for its super fine attention to detail, ie. the cracks and texture in the rocks and fine coloured strands of seaweed as well as the delicate foot prints in the sand. 

It's a very personal piece with a lot of meaning specific to the client, however any viewer should be able to enjoy my "joke" of the dachshund off the leash when the sign in the background clearly reads "dogs prohibited".

   

This painting now sits framed and proudly in the dining room of a beautiful home in Canberra.

Robe Commission

It has been a long while between posts and the reason for this is I've been busy with a number of commissions - awesome! One of which I'm prepared to show a sneak peak at its progress thus far.


The pics below belong to a finely detailed painting that I've been working on for the last couple of months. The subject being "A busy beach scene in Robe" (Robe is a town in South Australia).

As you can see, there is still much work to be done - but I'm happy with it's direction.
