Rottnest Island Paintings
Celebrate the days of summer. Storybook times when life slows down and children play as if the day will last forever. Quiet nights, bright stars and the gentle sound of boats moored close to the shore.
Art helps you remember that feeling of freedom and simplicity.
These original oil paintings of Rottnest Island can take you back there. Every day.

When you’re on playing fields, you can see the whole expanse out in front of you. You can see the players and the activities, and you get a sense of where you can engage. You can see how to participate. You get choices.

This is about coming to rest. In this painting of Perth, the big container ship is anchored off the coast between Cottesloe and Rottnest and the water is quite still. This is where we slow down to look at what we really have, this wonderful paradise around us.

I am struck by the majesty of this city, set against the river and the vastness of the sea.

This is the way a child experiences Rottnest. It’s not so much about the island itself. It’s all about moving from one fun place to another. I am highlighting a hundred beautiful, exotic bays, different headlands, different places to go swimming. This is a child’s map of holiday fun.

You can feel the magic as you make the crossing. Leaving on the ferry from Fremantle is the start of your escape. The ships, the water, the freedom of Rottnest. Every day is a holiday.

This is about kids and their beach holidays. There are the whales coming in for a visit past Cottesloe and Rottnest. You can see the Dingo Flour sign, lighthouses and even the pretend smugglers cave at Bathers Beach. Giant cargo ships cruise in and out of the harbour. Really this is a children’s paradise.

Here is our golden place. Like a sparkling brooch we wear on our summer. Again we rediscover with the beaches of our lost selves.

Here are two places that so many of us go to escape our routine. And relax. To me, the ships are our problems that can loom large when they are up close. Time and perspective sees them retreat to dots on the horizon.

Stars are peeping out at twilight. They sparkle on the water. There’s a slow moonrise. Headlights are leading us home. We share the precious seconds of a shooting star. All memories we keep close in a pocket.
