Dallans 'I'

This piece represents one of the funnest memories I had in Australia. One morning when we left the flat we decided that riding along the esplanade was just too easy so we tried our bicycling skills riding on the beach. We rode half the length of Hervey Bay in pure soft sand. It was an adventure and probably one of the stupidest things either of the two of us have ever done. The fixit guy at the bike shop was not impressed. It was afternoon before we got to our destination.

In Hervey Bay, the Sugar Cane farmers would burn off all the old crops in September. The ash would fill up the sky and make the whole place red. It made some of the best sunsets. I painted this one from memory about 5 years later, so it has my own interpretations in it. Hope you like it.
