Intrinsic
Tucked amongst the trees by the ocean, “The Shack” sums up the essence of the Cocos Islands for me. A hut for surfers, a deck chair in the shade, warm breeze, driftwood, surf and sand between my toes. Well maybe a few mozzies too! Here exists a culture hard to find elsewhere; one of respect, where you can leave your surfboard and towel and come back to it a day later, a month later.

I love the style! So impressionistic. And a great choice of the simple little scene…..beckoning us to come sit and enjoy the water. Lovely wall art Louise!!!!!

Yes, very painterly, wonderful primary colors and the interesting blossom-like texture as if the air were filled with flowers; what a place. So glad you’re showing more of the Cocos Islands. When I first saw your earlier photographs, shoreline you’d eplored by canoe, I decided, okay that’s for me. It does seems so idyllic, so perfect in every way. This is a splendid nest.

love the colours – so bright and sunny – it’s one of those images that makes me want to be in it. I love the textures too – really does have that painterly feel. Love it when you post work Louise :)

Hello Zsuzsa, sorry just noticed your question! I photographed a piece of driftwood and blended it with the deck chair image, which has created the mottled effect.
Thank you for your kind words, really appreciated :)
