I have dedicated this painting to “Hannah” … but it truly could be anyone.

Anyone who knows and loves these iconic baths as much as Hannah and all the regulars.

Hannah was one of many of the wonderful regulars down there at the baths who were kind enough to allow me to “paint” them. I am most grateful for Hannah’s time and patience as I am for all the wonderful Novocastrians that frequent these baths and ended up being “in” my paintings.

On this day it was a Thursday (they clean the baths on Wednesday). The water was clear and clean. The sky was blue, there was a gentle breeze blowing and apart from a few seagulls there was no one around. It was one of those magical days where you dive into that beautiful water and think…life is good.
