Sea Sun Sand - Happy Man

This painting is one of my early plaster based works made in 2008.

Growing up on the beach at North Entrance NSW where my parents home backed on to the beach, was a fantastic stage of my life. Surfing, fishing and spending most of my time enjoying the beach life.
On our property were several huge Norfolk Island Pines.

I still go to that beach to be in the water and to fish nearly ever week. Something I have done for the last 60 years. Yes I did say 60 years.
The name of the painting Sea Sun Sand - Happy Man , really sums up my feelings I have for this place. Even though I have not lived in my parents house for many years, the whole area to me is still HOME.

I still use this painting as the LOGO for one of my current businesses.

The painting is 100 cm wide x 75 cm high and 4.5 cm deep.

I have enjoyed this painting for many years now and I think it is time someone else enjoys it as well.

On the back is a signed and dated Certificate of Authenticity. It is wired ready to hang and has felt cushions to protect your walls.

There is no need for a frame as the edges are painted.

This painting will be shipped in a crate for your protection.
