Millers Point from the top of the Harbour Control Tower Painting

This large panoramic view of Sydney Harbour, Walsh Bay Wharves, Millers Point & the Sydney CBD was painted from the top of the 87 metre high Harbour Control Tower, which was demolished not long after.In the far distance, is the silhouette of the half-demolished Hammerhead Crane on Garden Island, which was finally removed in October 2014. I'd just finished a stint as 'Artist in Residence' on Garden Island painting this before the demolition started. The perspective is made more complex by the landbridges over the twisting streets winding their way from the angled rows of Walsh Bay Wharves up the hills. The entire suburb of Miller's Point lies at my feet and the roads seem to curve towards the Opera House. However there were drawbacks to this unique studio with its spectacular harbour views. I often had to walk up 400 stairs to the top, while carrying huge canvases, easels & tables, as the lift was usually out of order.
