OCEAN VIEW - MARINO ROCKS

An Australian seascape of beautiful Marino Rocks Beach.

It was a very hot day, but lovely and cool inside.  But perfect weather to gaze out of the window, and paint the ocean view of Marino Rocks Beach.

A rocky beach and the big blue sea - a beautiful Australian seascape.
Marino Rocks Beach is the southern Adelaide suburb of Merino.It sits on coastal hills. The view here is spectacular. It features a steep cliff face, and a low and flat rocky beach.

Marino Rocks is a quiet secluded beach. Therefore, there's usually barely anyone (besides the residents) on the beach. Most of the people who come here either go for a stroll, go for a picnic or go fishing or snorkling.

AUSTRALIAN ARTIST
I am an Australian artist working in Adelaide, South Australia. I paint mostly in oil, but occasionally use acrylic paints. Landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes, flower paintings and abstract paintings are included in my repertoire of work.

INSPIRATION FOR MY ART
As an Australian artist, my inspiration comes from whatever is around me at a particular time. As an example, following a recent trip to the mid north of South Australia, I produced a series of landscape paintings, which include the beautiful Eucalyptus trees and flowers from local gardens.

ARTIST STATEMENT
I have always loved colour. My paintings as a child were mostly large areas of very, very loud colour.
I paint because I love to. Taking delight in seeing what emerges from the canvas, and I still love colour.
Painting with other artists is a time to spend time with other human beings, without having to talk.
Painting alone is a special time to forget everything else, to get lost in the process of creativity, of colour and line, and light and dark.
During different stages of life I have made more time for painting. Now is one special time in my life when I can devote lots of time to painting.
