Sydney Harbour from The Rocks, Watercolour, Pen & Wash on Paper

A lively, on-the-spot style view of Sydney Harbour, signed to the lower margin, painted looking down and east from the heritage precinct of The Rocks - sandstone and terracotta rooftops tumbling toward Circular Quay, with the Sydney Harbour Bridge anchoring the upper left and the sail-like roofs of the Sydney Opera House catching the light on the right. The artist works in a confident, loose pen-and-wash technique, with quick ink linework establishing the architecture and rooftops and translucent watercolour washes carrying the light and atmosphere across the harbour.
