ARTIST NOTES: Walkerville beach is in South Gippsland.I have been back to that place and painted the foreshore many times under different weather conditions. In this picture the clouds and sky are grey because of the bush fire still roaring in East Gippsland at that time. While painting I can smell of smoke coming from kilo meters away. The man walking his little dog stopped to chat with me and on his way. I feel that I achieved what I wanted from this piece. I managed to use similar colours with different tonal values in the sky and foreground. The sand is a mixture of cool and warm tones.I added more pen to reinforced the shapes of the rocks.
