Cooly Swimmers

March 30, 2021 by lorenz Leave a Comment

Cooly Swimmers

The Southern beaches of the Gold Coast are some of the most idyllic, cleanest beaches in the world.

Certainly the most inspirational and joyful.

The coastal walk brings your feet close to the water whilst your soul is swept away in the gentle tide.

I love living in this part of the world and the last 12 months have found me meeting the most wonderful people and experiencing the blue seas of the coast.

The painting depicts, the things I love the most:

Snapper Rocks in the distance

Greenmount Hill

Coolangatta Beach with five of the guys I swim with, including Bruce who is floating out to see (he loves swimming out deep)!

The colours of the Coolangatta Surf Lifesaving Club are red/white/blue.

Kirra Beach

Kirra Hotel and Pagola

Our house

Cassidy the wild koala whose cage I have been cleaning at Currumbin Wildlife Hospital.

This piece is for sale on request.

Oil on canvas

183cm x 167 cm

$15,000

Monaco Yacht Show – Art on Water

February 4, 2021 by lorenz Leave a Comment

Art on super yachts are breath taking!

The Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) is one of the most prestigious in the world and has some of the world’s biggest luxury boats, boasting some of the world’s most celebrated artists..

I love going to the MYS!

It is dazzling, laid back, fun and relaxing all at once.

It’s an opportunity to see and admire opulent boats while enjoying the treasures and offerings of the Cote D’azure.

My typical day involves an early morning swim at Larvotto Beach, swinging back via a boulangerie to chat (in my broken French) and grab a fresh baguette or croq monsieur.

I love the French ways and enjoy the markets, shopping and restaurants.

After relaxing some more, I will find a local restaurant and usually have plates de jours which will be a restaurant selected two dishes with two wines. Moules marniere (mussels) is huge favourite of mine. Rose is the French cordial as such and is drunk at any opportunity.

After lunch I will paint.

Years ago I purchased a small tray of water colours from Nice. They have been my trusted and favourite paint set for years.

The pigments are stunning, clear and move graciously over a blotted paper.

After painting, I generally check out the boat show.

This means catching up with friends, going on yachts, checking out the lastest marine equipment, networking with interior designers and owners for my art works.

These are a snippets of art works from the boat and some of my own art works from Monaco.
