Morning Surf. Alexandra Headland. Qld

It was a beautiful morning at the beach when i was painting this scene. There were a few people around walking and a few surfers checking out the waves. As i was coming to the end of the painting i noticed a couple of surfers going out on the rocks then jumping into the water with there boards. There was my focal point for the picture,it gave the painting some life. This would look great in any room with a lovely frame. I painted this in oils on marine ply.
