This painting captures the luminous presence of a chokka boat as it lights up St Francis Bay, a familiar and vital part of our fishing community. These boats not only illuminate our waters at night but also sustain the livelihoods of countless families, weaving themselves into the fabric of our town’s identity. I chose a vibrant, high-contrast palette to evoke the energy and life that these vessels bring, using complementary colour combinations to create a striking visual experience. The interplay of light and colour reflects both the beauty of the bay and the resilience of the people who call it home.
