Travelling to Stanley earlier in the year I was entranced by the intensity of the blues/turquoises of water over warm white sand at East Inlet. Bonus: eveything was in the landscape layers I love…. horizontals are relaxing and give a sense of going on for ever. I have captured the beauty in this painting, even managing to capture the transparencyof the shallows through a newlydeveloped use of media. Being there I yearned to get to the far dune… looking at my painting that dune still beckons me. 
Flinders Islqand and the east coast with their quartz rich sands would also benefit from the same approach.
