Dusk at the Burleigh Beach

I love dusk. The Golden Hour when the natural light makes things glow and beautiful to snap photos. When the day meets night.  When the sky is like a painter’s palette with strong hues of blue, red, orange, yellow, gray and all sorts of the colours blend.

Walking on the cool, wet sand is just a relaxing, simple pleasure that I love to do when I go back home.

During my break back home, I walked along the beach a lot and took photos.  Looking through the photos, this particularly stood out to me so I decided to paint it.

I love using masking tape to ensure a clean white trimming around the painting and referring back to the photo was quite easy with an iPad.

Work in progress….

It’s a perfect way to remember and capture my holiday.  How do you remember your holiday besides taking photos?

Hope you’re enjoying a great weekend,

Yukari Iwasaki
