Ducks in the Canal - Greenway Composition

 I've been trying to create an entry for the Greenway prize. The Greenway goes along Hawthorn Canal from Iron Cove, along with the tramline (formerly a goods line) it meets in Haberfield through to Lewisham and Dulwich Hill . From there it continues down the hill to Cooks river. The council are creating a path joining bush remnants and parkland and parks etc along the route.

The prize is or artworks with themes of freshwater ecology, public transport, and the area/environment etc. So I'm sort of converting the stormwater drain/canal into a stream with ducks in a waterhole with a mashup of local landmarks, and a tram.

 

As it turns out I stuffed up the dates so I couldn't enter, but anyway I'll complete ith to maybe enter next year. Though after looking at this year's hang -slung on both sides of some randomly arranged temporary fencing plonked in the middle of a room, and without so much as some hessian backing- why would I bother?

 

Its now been entered in the Glebe art show starting tomorrow evening

 

 This is the finished version

 

 

 

 

Mostly composed. Just about time to start finishing the colour

 

 

 

It needs some buildings in the background, and trees. And its going through its pink phase, next thing is to paint the sky

Black Tower!

 A half finished painting I started a couple of years ago. I needed something for the Outlook landscape show at Newsagency Gallery starting tomorrow(14/06/2024), so I picked it up from where I left it at Martin's place, and took it home to work on. I had photos I took in 2022 when I was working on it on site
