Diamond Bay Painting

Description

Diamond Bay, Sorrento – A Coastal Masterpiece by Albert Payet

Sorrento is a coastal suburb located in the Mornington Peninsula which includes the calm Port Phillip Bay to the north and the rugged coastline of Bass Strait to the south. This rugged coastline stretch of Sorrento is punctuated by many small bays which provide surprisingly welcome spots of serene calm waters. One such spot is the subject of this painting, Diamond Bay. This bay is tucked away behind beach houses and only accessed by a narrow road and walking trail. As shown in this painting, there is a rich range of earth colours and shade in the cliffs and rocks contrasted brilliantly against the turquoise water. It was a pleasure capturing all the colours and detail, especially picking up the slight differences in colour and tone of the cliff and rocks.
