Mary and Amber on the beach

Watercolour, 5"x7"

In a private collection

My ex-British cousins live at Umina Beach, just north of Sydney on what is called the Central Coast. It's a beautiful area and they have a long beach, great for bodysurfing and dog-walking (on one end of it). Every time I'm there I love to walk with them along it and watch the surf and the reflections on the sand. This day I caught a great photo of Mary & her dog Amber and captured them both well in watercolour. It was in my 2009 calendar so now I call Mary a cover-girl!
