Artist/Gallery notes
Perth, in Western Australia, is built on the banks of the wide estuary of the Swan River. Sailing is a way of life in Perth and everything tends to revolve around the river, the Indian Ocean and water sports. There are yacht clubs along the banks of the river. This is an early morning view of Royal Perth Yacht Club, as a boat is launched from a trailer. I wanted to capture the scratchy feeling of early morning with the yellow tinges of the rising sun and the pale reflections in the water.
