Red Bluff Mornington by Billy Nye

Features

ARTIST NOTES: When Fred Williams painted the beach at Mornington he called his painting, "Red Bluff Mornington". This particular spot at the Mornington Beach is a gorgeous walk and one that I frequent often. Sometimes you can find objects on the beach and take home. Other times you can see rubbish and I usually pick it up and take to the rubbish bin. This particular work is inspired by one of many walks along the beach at Mornington Beach. Its a different perspective and view of the beach. Or, is it a message in a bottle for someone special? I love to draw in Charcoal, it is a rich and bold material that can create great atmosphere like no other medium.
