Every summer, the bridge over Simpson River becomes a stage for courage and joy. Kids gather along the rail, their laughter carried on the sea breeze as they wait for the tide to rise for that perfect, thrilling moment to leap into the turquoise below.

This painting aims to capture more than a scene; it’s a rhythm of place and memory. Sunlit water shimmers with the reflections of daring dives, while figures poised on the bridge seem suspended between sky and sea ~ between childhood and all that comes after.

The palette hums with the spirit of the north coast: teal depths, coral glints, and the silvery warmth of salt air. Each palette knife dab holds the pulse of a coastal rite of passage, an ode to freedom and the sweet, fleeting rush of summer days.
