The Fishermen. Shelley Beach. Caloundra. Qld

I paint down at this beach a lot. It's my favourite location to put my easel up. I was painting here at lowtide one morning when these two fishermen appeared and they walked out to catch some fish. The colours of the ocean and the beautiful colours of the rocks caught my eye and the two men set the scene for me to paint. I was very happy with the finished painting. They did catch some nice size fish. This would look great in a nice frame and it would suit any room.
