Leichhardt Public School Tower

 


 Today, on the last day of the year, I got out on the street for the first time in a while to add some greenery and clouds and bring this view of the lovely old tower on Marion St to life. It felt pretty good - I even got a $20 donation as well as an enquiry about commissions (happy to do them) and plenty of nice comments.

I'll probably do some more tomorrow, I'm aiming to be a be a bit busier in the new year

Mullet Creek

 Wondabyne is on Mullet Creek, a tributary of the Hawkesbury that you travel along for a bit after crossing the river on the Sydney-Newcastle train. I've been helping spruce up mum's house for sale the last few months since she went into care, so travelling this line a lot. It's for a cousin in England who was very hospitable when I stayed with him and his mum in Stroud, decades ago

This is getting more finished looking, In the distance I might add a few of the boats moored up around there, there's a lot more than there used to be. Housing crisis for boats and all

Oyster leases


 

 
Hills and what were oyster leases on a tributary of the Hawkesbury- seen from the Newcastle train line. It's a sketch for a painting I'm trying to do for my cousin Patrick in England, who was very hospitable and showed me around the pubs etc of Stroud many years ago
