Around The Rocks, Sydney.









Chowder Bay & Governor's House, Sydney


On a cliff above a cafe called Ripples. My biggest struggle here was with the rocks in the foreground.





David Costello and I trekked over to the Governor's house with our paint boxes. Eventually security told us to leave. Does a palette knife count as a weapon?





George's Heights


In 2006 the George's Heights campus of Julian Ashtons was upkept, inhabited and mostly taught by Robert Dujin, who taught me everything I know about landscape painting.


That's a sculpture of a walrus in the foreground:
