April 2019, our family stayed on Noosa North Shore Retreat during the "rainy" Easter break. For a short period of time, when the rain finally stopped we decided to explore the area and went to the shore. Mosquitoes went crazy and were eating us alive, this guy was standing and fishing but seemed not to notice them. The evening was so calm, warm, the whole atmosphere of this place was simply magical (if it were not for the heaps of hungry mosquitoes circling around us).

I looked at him and thought - Yes!!! This scene may turn into an amazing painting that will motivate every man to drop their busy life and rush to the shore to fish, leaving all worries behind, just enjoy the sunset with a bottle/glass of their favorite beverage. I don’t even know the name of this guy, for me, he has become a collective image of the real Aussie, a lover of relaxing and fishing.

At the end of the painting process, I decided to give the scene more “spiciness” by adding an evening heron stealing “the catch” from the poor man. Just like in life, catch luck by the tail or someone else will take advantage of your work.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose…but you should never give up.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Question ---

Where is the best place to hang oil paintings?

Oil paintings do not like direct sunlight. An ideal place for them is a room with ambient lighting. Incandescent bulbs also adversely affect the quality of the painting. Varnish of course protects the paint, but not to that extent. Under the direct sun, it could begin to fade.
Never hang a picture near a stove/oven - it will be very difficult to clean a picture from soot. Air temperature changes may “kill" the painting. Please, do not hang the painting close to the heating appliance. Due to constant exposure to high temperatures, paint may start to crack.

Can I put oil paintings under glass?
How to clean oil paintings?
What should I do if painting on canvas start to slack?

This happens with humidity changes in the rooms. Do not be afraid of this. Place painting on a flat, clean surface with the image down, and wipe the back of canvas with a wet cloth. You do not need “to fill the painting with water”, make sure that the water does not flow from the rag in streams and that no puddles form on the canvas. Just slightly moisten with water - the canvas will immediately stretch evenly. It is necessary to leave the painting in this position until it is completely dry. If this procedure was not enough, then you need to contact a specialist in a framing workshop.
