  2025\, 5:30pm – 7:30pmThe Meehan Range\, Pontville and Surry Hills\, 
 Sydney\, each gave rise to a visual puzzle.&nbsp\; How to depict the blu
 e-teal spring growth of the Risdonii slopes against dull Stringybark? Wh
 at would the resurrection look like at Pontville? How the dark cavern of
  street trees contrasts with the scorching Sydney&nbsp\; sun?\n\n\n\n“
 Inspired by my landscape painting practice\, recent classes with Jake Wa
 lker\, and visiting my daughters\,&nbsp\;Three places&nbsp\;explores the
  relationship between place and person. How our perception and depiction
  of place is redefined by its connection with people we know.\n\n\n\nThe
  works have their origin in three very different locations. The Meehan R
 ange as a backdrop to Flagstaff Gully and Mornington\, the historic town
 ship of Pontville\, and the inner city\, Sydney suburb of Surry Hills.\n
 \n\n\nThe Meehan range is partly suburban (my eldest daughter lives clos
 e by)\, partly tamed countryside. Mountain bikers cross it. Yet it is ho
 me to eucalyptus risdonii which seems to require a stony\, dry\, north w
 esterly aspect. Only this allows it to survive and gives rise occasional
 ly to a brilliant blue flush of growth amid the dull greens of other gum
  trees.\n\n\n\nPontville – Brighton is a mixture of historic graveyard
 s churches\, and emerald green sporting areas. Scenes enjoyed by our sec
 ond daughter.\n\n\n\nSurry Hills with its nineteenth century dock worker
 s terrace houses is a place in transition. The street trees are a consta
 nt but add a dimension of change when providing deep shade or filtered l
 ight over the Victorian facades. Our youngest daughter’s home is here.
 &nbsp\;\n\n\n\nI have used a less descriptive\, partly abstract method t
 o try to communicate the transformations these places show and their mea
 ning for those who observe them.\n\n\n\n“Transformation” and “mean
 ing”\, has taken me towards an attempted portrayal of the magic or spi
 rit of the places\, while speculating on the relationships between place
 \, the people there and the observer. St Matthews Cemetery Pontville is 
 the frame for the ultimate transformation\, the resurrection!”–&nbsp
