Boardwalk, Long Island, Australia

Linda Callaghan

Boardwalk, Long Island, Australia

An acrylic painting, 26×36cm (10” x 14”) on 300 gsm watercolour paper of the boardwalk on Long Island, Australia. This long walk takes you down to the pier.

Visitors to the Island are taken on trolley buses to their cabins which overlooks the amazing beach and water views. Time for a holiday! This was a painting of my husband walking down the boardwalk on our first visit to the island.

Sunlight on our faces
steps taking us places
memories to treasure
nothing can measure
this paradise will forever hold
special moments that will be told…

    Sitting here and looking at the all the white ice outside, this is a real treat!
    Wonderful light, conveys the warmth and sunshine of Australia. The planks would have been the biggest task for me – getting them to look right, I’d run out of patience.
    You’ve produced a fine, summer watercolour work here, Linda.

    thank you Colin, yes they were a challenge…in our summer now thank goodness I do hate the cold….stay warm and thank you again for your feedback

  • Sam Fonte

    Sam Fonte

    hey Linda, not sure where ‘long island’ is but it looks/feels very familiar… or maybe as i said, it feels familiar because you’ve captured the aussie coastal feel.
    cheers
