Lighthouse Beach
Acrylic Paint on Canvas
Since moving to Ballina, I’ve painted my local beaches, but Lighthouse Beach is my favourite—a wild yet sheltered place where bushland meets surf. This piece captures dusk’s fleeting light, long shadows stretching as the last wanderer crosses the sand. It’s an in-between moment: day tipping into night, sea blurring into land, cliffs resisting the tide. Driftwood marks the spring tide’s reach, a reminder of how the ocean reclaims this space.
Both loveable and eerie, the painting lingers in that uncanny threshold—where does the sea end and the beach begin? A quiet meditation on impermanence, and the way familiar places shift as light fades.
