Back at Rabbit Island

Today was a lovely sunny day, with a rising tide. I had to go out to Richmond on business, so afterwards I continued on to Rabbit Island. It has some wonderful views, and shady sheltered spots where you can set up and paint in relative comfort.

I don't know why, but I have very seldom been bothered by sand flies here over the years.

A very interesting collection of natives and exotics. Many pines, some very old and gnarled, a lot of mature eucalypts, and of course, regenerating scrub.




15057. "Rabbit Island, Rising Tide". Oil on panel. 8x10in. $150

    Nice, one of my favorite spots to paint when I lived there. One could paint a complete exhibition in this location.
