When we lived on New Beach Road, Darling Point, we lived on the third story of a block of flats overlooking Sydney Harbour, the most beautiful harbour in the world. More specifically, it was just up from the Rushcutters Bay Marina. This is from where the Sydney - Hobart yacht race departs each year, and we would watch the spectacle from our balcony. If you walk around Rushcutters Bay Park and look toward the marina it is literally a forest of masts, sails and rope. The white sails against the blue sky and the harbour, clean enough to sustain an abundance of marine life. Nice.

“Life and Death” was painted as the centrepiece for the ”Oceans and Deserts” exhibition and was the final painting created for the series. The place where the ocean meets the desert. It was painted at a time of great personal loss and the flotsam and jetsam of my life can be seen bobbing about in the shallows. It was also the last of the paintings created at the much loved Balfour St Nailsworth studio, a.k.a. “The Blue Cat Studio” in August 2010.
