Description
One of the many salt lakes that occupy Rottnest Island.
I spent many hours here as I was fascinated by the colours.
It was more pink in real life than in my painting but that is the joy of it.
This digitally rendered painting in blue and orange would compliment any modern interior.
Printed using water based inks on sustainably sourced paper made from wood from sustainable forests.

Rottnest Island, Western Australia
Salt lakes occupy about ten per cent of the area of Rottnest Island. Many of them, including Lake Baghdad, Lake Vincent, Herschel Lake, Garden Lake, Government House Lake and Serpentine Lake, are permanent and have surrounding beaches. Other lakes such as Pink Lake, Lake Sirius, Lake Negri and the twin Pearse Lakes may dry out in summer.
First records of human occupation of Rottnest Island are from more than 6,500 years ago when the Island was still attached to the mainland, and Aboriginal people inhabited the area.
Known to local Aboriginal people as Wadjemup, the Island is believed to be a place of spirits and is of significance to Aboriginal communities.
The first Europeans took up residence on Rottnest Island shortly after the first settlement of the Swan River Colony was established in 1829.
In 1848 Governor Fitzgerald expressed an interest in residing on Rottnest Island so it became an exclusive summer retreat for successive Governors and their friends. The 1912/1913 summer was the last time the Governor used the Governor's House on Rottnest Island as a summer residence. It was later converted to flats and used by holiday-makers. Today, it is part of the Rottnest Island Hotel.
