As an "Aussie", I'm familiar with the saying "Life's a beach ... and then you die". Maybe this IS The Beach. A delightful image in which to dream a day or two away.

The boat like an upside-down candlelight miraculously burns into the water and lights the skyline...Under white winged clouds.Hallucinatory picturing.

I can picture myself swimming in the blue/green waters you depict here. I certainly wish I was there as I now have to go out and shovel snow. Thank you Julian for these delightful paintings that momentarily take me away from the wintry vista outside my window.

Painter’s notes

I'd love to believe that 'Dream Beach' is a translation from the Balinese but I think it more likely the derivation is understated Ausssie—whatever—hell of a beach
