Hamilton Island panorama - original acrylic painting by Alan Benge

The Whitsundays are a source of inspiration for artists as all the ingredients for exciting paintings are here. Sea, sun, tropical landscapes, and a marvellous marine lifestyle.
In this original painting, I decided to have the mid-foreground framed by palms, with a selection of Hamilton Island golf carts travelling along the winding road. If you have ever visited Hamilton, you will have seen the golf buggies - the preferred means of getting around for many.
In the background of this acrylic picture, I painted in yachts making their way across a light blue ocean, with misty hill shapes and islands dotting the horizon.
