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.
For Sale: AU$980.00

See my web site www.shirleypeters.com for all the paintings from this series.
