‘July on the Maniototo’. Egg Tempera. 585 x 750mm. 1975. Private Collection. “In the initial drawings, the railway goods shed was sheltering a wagon covered in an orange tarpaulin, and I painted it that way; but after some unsettled weeks wondering why it didn’t seem to work, I took it out. Instantly the feel changed from one of ‘shelter from the storm’ to a far more bleak and lonely notion, and much the better for it. A perfect example of trusting painterly instinct over truth and reality. My paintings are so often exercises in dishonesty.” Grahame Sydney

‘Night Approaches Beattie Road’. Watercolour and Gouache. 545mm x 730mm. 2017. Private Collection. “Close to our home, and part of my ritual mountain bike circuit along the St. Bathans Downs, I’ve painted Beattie Road several times. I find minimal subjects often the most appealing: when little is offered, everything there is more meaningful. Here the story is in what remains – tracks tell where the sheep have been, that a tractor or farmer’s ute must have been here recently, a willow once flourished, but no longer. And the sky confirms another bone-chilling winter’s day is about to end.” Grahame Sydney.
