Mooloolabah fishing boat painting by Alan J. Benge

Fishing boats at anchor form excellent subjects for the marine artist.  It was nearly sunset when I spotted this trawler at the Mooloolabah wharf area on Queensland's Sunshine coast. Ifelt it would look best if I tried out a pen and ink style approach, after establishing a dusky pink background initially.
Red and orange highlight tones were added along with white areas. My aim was to capture the peaceful anchorage at the end of day. I hope you like my original creation.
