Visions from Underground

I'd like to thank Dune Surf at Ochredfern for letting me put on this show of work I had mostly not exhibited from the past several years while I was at the Junkyard plus a couple of newer pieces

 
The front window with Central from Eddy Avenue displayed in it 
 

And again, with the signboard and more cars reflected


 Govetts Leap, Watsons Bay and Centrepoint from Woolloomooloo


 

 
Angry Cars(View from the Junkyard) and Damo Shadow Boxing (in its backyard). The front room was devoted to mostly daylight images in conventional colours, with this wall dominated by large paintings


 
Under Centrepoint and the Marooned shed 
and Marching Cranes, Busking in Newtown and Govetts leap again

 
The corner
 
A wider view

King Ed's Horse, A portrait of Charles Freyberg and Stephen Edwards and his dog Fred

 

View from the Junkyard, View from Weave, and Crane on the Crest (also looking towards Kings Cross from my temporary studio at Weave in Woolloomooloo when I was painting a large triptych for them - of Woolloomooloo)

 
A last image of the right wall along with the front window(and the back of Damo Shadow Boxing)

 
A viewer looks at the paintings on the other wall of the front room

 
There's a lot of them!
