Jan Matson is showing a new collection of works in an exhibition ‘Coastal Moods’. The oil paintings are from recent visits to the coasts of Australia and are to be on show at the Southside Gallery.
Some of the beaches depicted are Fraser Island, Surfers Paradise and Byron Bay, down to many of the holiday favourites on the south coast of New South Wales, including Tuross, Broulee and Bermagui. Also featured are the Victorian beaches of Brighton Bay, St Kilda and Lakes Entrance.
She is attracted to the vibrant, ever-changing colours of the evening skies over the ocean, the early sunrises, and the calming effect of the rolling waves at dusk.
Jan has captured the enchanting moods of the coast of Australia; the memories of all our summers.
The exhibition can be viewed at the Southside Gallery, Southside Community Services, Boolimba Crescent, Narrabundah, from February 24th to March 11th 2007.
The gallery will be open from 11am to 4pm each day including weekends.
