Sailing. Moreton Island. Qld

I love going over to Moreton Island for a getaway and painting holiday. I loved this scene because of the action and people having fun with their boats. Also i was attracted to all the colours. This would suit a lot of rooms that it was hung in with the colours. This was painted on canvas and the paints were oils.
