The paintings have a contemporary feel, which employ vibrant colours and textures. The style is Impressionist, some loose and others more detailed. The title of the exhibition plays of the two words; scape and escape. The artist seeks the viewer feel a sense of relaxation and dreaminess and that they could be part of the scape by escaping into the scene.

Palm Cove lights up for Christmas

Laser lights will create a special Christmas show along the foreshore of Palm Cove each night from December 4 in the lead up to Christmas and New Year.

Cairns Mayor Val Schier will switch on the Christmas laser lights at 6.30pm on Saturday, December 4 at Palm Cove Shopping Village where the two Palm Cove Christmas trees are located.
...
Local acoustic band Roughstone will perform Christmas carols and covers.

Tourism Palm Cove Marketing Coordinator John Astle said the Palm Cove Christmas Markets will operate along Williams Esplanade all day on December 4 to add to the festivities.

“It will be a relaxing way of doing your Christmas shopping with a variety of stalls selling the likes of jewellery, clothes, art, crafts and soap,” Mr Astle said.

“The Christmas lights will project laser Christmas images into the trees along Williams Esplanade adding to the magic of dining at Palm Cove in the evenings as we count down the days to Christmas and the New Year.”

Palm Cove businesses along Williams Esplanade are decorating their premises and a number have added Christmas laser lights of their own. The best decorated business will win a two-night stay with breakfast at the Sebel Reef House.
