10. Unlike many artists I usually work on site to capture the elusive spirit of place. I set up my easel by the side of the road, on windswept rooftops & on demolition sites. Unpredictable weather, constantly changing light, distractions from workman & passers-by – are more than compensated for by the depth of knowledge I have gained about the hidden gems of Sydney. I see Sydney in all its moods, from the pearly calm of early morning, the brilliant cobalt sea and sky of a warm summer’s day, to dramatic storms & the jewel-like city skyline at night.
