All Behind

The alps region in France is beautiful. The vistas go on forever, but the rider's were focused on their strategy.

This painting is one of a series taken from Le Tour de France coverage by our local TV station SBS. I watch the action live, and click my iphone at the screen when a scene grabs me. Sometimes I end up with 50 or more clicks from each night.

I then paint one or two images. 

It's sort of live, only half a world away, and at midnight here, and in winter!!

Flying Deep

One of my paintings from the "The World Below". 

It depicts the underground reservoir at Centennial Park, Sydney, with some fantasy: this time the unlikely happening of seagulls flying through.

Normally used to house Sydney's drinking water, the reservoir was emptied, my husband photographer, Bob Peters, and I were lowered in... and we helped to make a record of the space. 

From this memory, and the photographs, I have produced a body of work comprising 26 medium and large scale paintings.

76cm x 76cm, oil on canvas.
