Morning Swim. Mooloolabah. Qld

I loved the colours in this scene as i was walking along looking for a subject. Then the people came along for a swim and that was it, i knew i had to paint it. With the boats sailing around and the people swimming it told a story of a beautiful day on the coast. I painting this one on canvas with oils.
