The Port of Newcasle is home to a fleet of very busy tugboats. These little work horses of the river are responsible for the safe passage of every cargo ship that visits the harbour. A big responsibility!
 
This one was slowly making it's way out to sea late in the day.  A storm had just passed over, the last rays of the setting sun created a spotlight effect causing everything to glow.
The yellows of the tug contrasted so beautifully against the silvery mauves and greys of the river and sky, and I knew I had to capture it in paint.
