‘Auripo Road’. Egg Tempera. 420 x 748mm. 1979. Private Collection. “This painting came about as a direct result of my car breaking down and me finding myself alone at the roadside, waiting for a passing vehicle to give me a hand. Nearby was a gravel intersection with an assembly of rural mail boxes for the properties down Auripo Road; each with its own private story and character, all hoping – as I was – for some life and relief from the silence and the boredom. As I waited I began to realise there was a subject for me.” Grahame Sydney

‘Rozzie at Pisa’. Egg Tempera. 610 x 610mm. 1978. National Collection, Te Papa Tongarewa. Painted in 1978 when living in a cottage on Mount Pisa Station, this portrait of Grahame’s then wife, Ros, shows her standing at the kitchen door of the cottage, lost in her own thoughts. When the NZ Listener conducted a reader’s survey to find NZ’s most popular painting, this portrait was headed only by Rita Angus’s ‘Cass’.
