Fremantle Oil Paintings
Fremantle is just like a whispered secret
It's mystery, discovery and surprise
Around every corner, down every street
There are those ships moving like mountains
A long slow dance with the sunset and the sea.
These rich and colourful original artworks by Ken Rasmussen capture the essence of Fremantle.

Magpies and green parrots soar over the great big river that runs from the city of Perth down to the ocean at Fremantle. The Jacarandas are in bloom, Dingo guards the coast, and cargo ships ply their trade in Gage Roads, coming into the port.

I’m thinking about the strength of partnerships – two birds, two whales, two lighthouses. There is the ship of abundance finding safe harbour. In this sheltered place, we live in safety and security.

The port is the heart of Fremantle. Container ships loom large and show us the flow of prosperity in and out of our place. There is a great flow around us, the flow of the river, the flow of nature.

It’s Friday evening coming into the weekend. We gather our family groups and head down south to Margaret River. We leave behind the bustle and lights of the city. We retreat to restore ourselves.

Village By The Shore |

Here is Fremantle. It reminds me so much of an Edwardian port village. It’s re-invented itself through the University and cafes. It’s been brought to life by the migrants who share their cafes, delis and generous hearts. There are so many surprises to open in this place. You can see the port, the lighthouses, the railway line, the park and the Ferris wheel. Add all to that, the cargo ships, the containers, Cottesloe and Dingo. Someone described this as Christmas in a landscape painting.
