I think it is Coogee Beach Dave, about 20 minutes from here. One day the planets will align and all will work itself out. |

painted them last year to be finished before xmas , took about three weeks I think . I worked on them full time which is rare , usually I work on pieces sporadically when the mood strikes me it took almost as long to prepare the canvasses - theyre the best Ive ever made, hand stretched ( as always ) double rabbit skin sized , two coats of oil prime undercoat , then a blue underpainting wash ( I usually use ocre but this one wanted to be REALLY blue ) It was based on photo's I took of Coogee beach south of Fremantle , but I've changed it around a little - artistic license |

Niiice - lot of prep in there Boris... yeah I know the feeling when you working and it takes over and time vanishes (at least in your own mind)... feel like that when I'm doing a BYAP mag... So it's oil not acrylic? |

Oils are more fun to paint with.

oils definitely are more fun , especially after sniffing the turps all day I havent done any paintings of the UK visit yet ( only just sorted through the photo's a month ago ) , but Ive got a few that I want to do this year , plus a friend who came with us on part of the trip ( after we visited you , up through the Scottish highlands ) wants me to do a big one for him . I really want to do a couple of frm the shots I took looking out across the bay at Beaumaris and one of Conwy castle ,plus Snowdonia . . . damn , there's too many to paint just got to find time to do them all |
