SERVING UP SUMMER by paink in Melbourne

A painting for @visitmelbourne titled: "Serving up Summer". Whilst the main image relates to one of the biggest events on Melbourne's Summer sporting calendar @australianopen, I wanted this piece to include iconic Melbourne landmarks such as Luna Park and the MCG, reflecting the vibrant energy and cultural diversity that define the city. Penguins and seagulls add coastal charm, while the presence of ice cream and summer fruits signifies the sweet indulgence of hot days. Respectfully woven into the narrative, the Indigenous flag in the palm acknowledges the enduring connection to Australia's original custodians, enriching the piece with cultural depth. Copies of the guide could be found at selected Melbourne hotels, visitor information centres and airports during the 2024 Summer period.
