Downunder Family Christmas at the Beach

DaveJ 11 Dec 2023

Being in the southern hemisphere where Christmas is WARM, This is the beach where all the 3 generations in our family will spend much of our time together over the Christmas holiday period; in those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer - as the song goes. Having just finished this painting from 1 of my own photos, and coming to upload it, I saw the 3 great SNOWY paintings so far, and thought what an opportunity to highlight 1 of the advantages of living by the beach in the southern hemisphere. Ha ha! And seriously, I wish you all a great and safe festive season. Enjoy and Cheers.

I’m jealous of where you live! Very best place! Nice painting too

Beautiful painting Dave, i like the snow at christmas though.

Super nice ,DaveπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ

The depth of this painting is amazing and the clouds are very nice!

Echoing what jin has said, the sky gives a wonderful effect of depth. Almost feels panoramic, very cool. Awesome detail, as usual from you.

Super!

I love it. And I would like to live at the southern hemisphere during that time πŸ˜€

Thank you Bob on both counts, much appreciated, cheers

Thank you Terry. Snow at Christmas does have that special effect, as we discovered when we did a couple of Christmas Market Tours through Germany, Austria, France and into Zurich in 2014 - cold though. Cheers

Thank you Dirk, cheers

Thank you for your lovely compliment Jin, cheers

Thank you for your great compliments Jeff. Photo was taken with my iPhone 12 mini - nothing special camera-wise. Right place - right time. Cheers

Thank Brian cheers

Thanks Tom, much appreciated. We enjoy the warmth and the cool sea-breezes and of course the cool air-conditioning. Now I've finished this final Christmas present I can do a bit more playing with WCs. Cheers

Such a beautiful painting Dave!

Really good! I've just put up your other Christmas painting last week again :)

Greetings and thank you Felix for your compliment. That very amateurish painting on a scrap of canvas is still surviving and being used as a Christmas decoration - wow! Hope all is well and that you have a great and safe festive season. Cheers

Beautiful scene and painting, but, I love my snowy Christmas.

Thank you Tomi. Even though we enjoyed a snowy and frozen pre-Christmas in Europe a few years ago, I will leave you to enjoy your snowy Christmas this year. Cheers

Gorgeous! It really looks like a picture!
