Upcoming art exhibitions & Cottesloe beach (56)

I’m excited to announce that I have two art exhibitions coming up before the end of this year. I will have different art in both exhibitions so please try and get to both if you can. Details are above.

This painting is of the Indiana Tearooms on Cottesloe beach, one of the more popular beaches in Perth and a magnet for tourists. This unusual building sits right on the beach and features in many photos. The original building on the site was built in 1910 so it has become an icon around these parts.

Iconic or not, I wouldn’t recommend eating here. Ian took me to the Indiana Tearooms for our first anniversary dinner. Although we got a stunning view of the Indian Ocean, the menu was very ordinary as was the food and the service, and the prices were extraordinary!

The dramatic sky and sea were a pleasure to paint, but I found it quite a challenge to paint the Indiana (buildings are not my strong point!) However, I quite like the quirky way it has turned out.
