Marc Etherington The view from my mum and dad's place

acrylic on canvas

143.5 x 163.5 cm

I am a self-taught painter from Gymea. My work usually revolves around popular culture, childhood memories and everyday domestic life, mostly with a darkly humorous twist. Lately I have been enjoying painting landscapes that inspire me. This painting is the view overlooking Gymea Bay from my parents’ balcony. It’s my favourite view in the world.
