Suburbia
                                
Two years ago, 20 km from the heart of downtown Sydney, Australia, in the leafy suburb of Frenchs Forest, we bought a 1960’s brick house with a large  backyard on a wide quiet street......very different to our previous home of 20 years, which was a short walk from the Harbour Bridge.

Amidst  the 60’s architecture that sat at the edge of Australian bush, with flocks of screeching cockatoos, brush turkeys, kookaburras, and nature itself.  The watercolours in this show give the viewer a glimpse into my response to this new environment.

The work called “Patricia in her leather coat” was done from photos and quick sketches.   A friend of my wife had come to lunch. I wanted to capture her in the late afternoon light of my backyard against the texture of a tall pine tree:  her beautiful face and gentle eyes against her lovely leather coat.  I feel one of the most important elements in this work is the quality of light and colour and its warmth and intensity.

Images such as laundry on the line, a workman’s jacket, or late afternoon light creeping across a quiet leafy street, strike me as compelling and beautiful. For me it is the capturing and portraying of the everyday and the incidental, the things revealed and the things discovered.
