“Sunday Sailing” was one of my early watercolour artworks, completed in 1980. It is a large piece measuring 50cm x 75cm.
The inspiration for this painting came from a lazy Sunday afternoon family picnic by the Swan River in my hometown of Perth, Western Australia. In fact, I originally called this artwork “Lazy Sunday Afternoon” – but I felt it needed a name-change because I was the one being lazy, not the sailors in the image.
Sitting on a blanket on the grassy riverside, watching the sail-boats on the river. Does life get any better?
I call it a watercolour painting, but I guess truthfully it is a mixed media work. The beautiful blues and greens are in watercolour paint, as is the dreamy sunset pink hues. But the detail of the boats and trees are from the chalky essence of artist’s Conte Crayons.
I never framed this artwork in the technical sense. I still keep it in it’s original black paper “frame”.
