An interesting Power pole that caught my eye, just to the side of the boat ramp at Terrigal beach, NSW Australia.

    Nicely done. Oils?

  • Thank you Sturstein, Yes oil on canvas. Tried to keep it fresh and spontaneous, 18 by 14 inch

    Beautiful painting. I like it when artists paint what is real in their lives in this era…otherwise how will things like this be preserved for history in a way that’s interesting to look at and says something about our world? There is beauty in ordinary things, at least when painted as well as this!

  • Thanks Cindy, I agree, got to paint it while its there, I imagine it has seen some storms.

    Making the ordinary extraordinary… Like Cindy said! I know the coast and can smell the seaside just looking at this :D

  • Thank you also Virgosun. I was toying with the idea of putting a pelican on the light but I wanted it to be about the pole so left it as is. It has a coast feel about it for sure.
