Title: Burleigh Beach Cockatoo

About This Artwork: Burleigh Beach is on the Gold Coast of South East Queensland Australia. There is a small mountain range not so far from the beach which traps the humid air and thus makes it a bit sub tropical and very attractive to tourists.

However even though the Gold Coast is advertised as the “Sunshine State” it does rain a lot bringing with it beautiful cloud formations. The Gold Coast has amazing cloud formations. Not just a boring flat gray sky but great big puffy clouds with contrasting shades which morph and grow as you watch. So in a late afternoon there may be black storm clouds above you – and underneath the Sun which is low on the horizon shines a bright yellow light across the landscape giving a sharp contrast to the trees, the buildings and everything that you can see. This is a photographers and artists dream.

The Gold Coast also has beautiful white, slightly yellow sandy beaches – and there are a number of river inlets with rocky tree covered headlands which break up the coast line. The Gold Coast beach actually does a magnificent curve like a half moon from Coolangatta at the south end of the coast to the Spit at Southport on the north end of the coast.

There is diverse wildlife – including snakes, lizards and koalas. On one occasion while walking around the Burleigh Beach headland path which is just 20 feet above the ocean I saw a whale swimming past with her baby – just about 60 feet away. And then there are a wide rang of birds including eagles and cockatoos. The cockatoos – galahs – are really playful and they will hang upside with one leg from the branch of a tree – and swing around – flapping their wings – and making screeching sounds looking at you as if they are inviting us humans to be more playful.

The Gold Coast has such an amazing contrast in its weather, landscape, wildlife providing an environment for both work and play that I just had to place the horizon line right in the middle of the canvas.
