Elkington park beach

The autumn weather has been lovely and sunny and the best part is the ocean temperature has finally caught up with the air temperature. I was feeling quite guilty about not finishing a painting but compromised by starting a small painting of the spot I planned to visit a little later.


After some progress on the painting, I visited the Dawn Fraser Baths in Balmain. The baths close for winter this weekend and so I was just in time. Enjoyed a refreshing dip - it was high tide - and spent some time admiring the beach next to the baths. This is the result. It really helps to revisit the source of inspiration, don't you think?
