Surprised and honored.

I was wonderfully surprised and so very pleased to have my painting of apple blossoms chosen as the new banner for the Facebook Group - Still Life Artists/Painters on March 25, 2025.

I wish to sincerely thank the group administrator, Lin Anne Luciano Fiore. It is an honor I will always remember.

March's Virtual Hike - Australia 2

 March's Virtual Hike continues - Australia - Wreck Beach

I continued my travels along The Great Ocean Road to Wrecks Beach at Great Otway National Park. This coastal area is known as "The Shipwreck Coast" for a good reason. 

From the parking area, it is a steep, 350 step descent to wild Wreck Beach. There the rusted anchors and various metal debris of the Marie Gabrielle and numerous shipwrecks can still be seen at low tide, a haunting reminder of the lives claimed by this treacherous stretch of water. More remnants are submerged in the deeper waters. Park signs are posted along the beach warning visitors to - "Be aware of local and tidal conditions and be well prepared". Access is only at low tide.

The exploration and local history is another reason why I enjoy the concept of this painting group. We certainly live in a fascinating world!

March's Virtual Hike - Australia

March's Virtual Hike - Australia 1

This month's virtual hike takes us along The Great Ocean Road - from Port Fairy to Barwon Bluff, in southern, coastal Australia. This area is called "The Shipwreck Coast" for a good reason. I started in Port Fairy and after searching around I found a side road that led to the sea. I came upon this scene and it was perfect - the bright orange against all that greenery.

Now I will travel farther along the coast and look for another fun scene to paint!
