Quintessential Sydney

... always features the Harbour Bridge and/or The Opera House. But those sights never cease to excite the senses. The sheer majesty of these two structures which draw you in, like a magnet. Imagine Sydney without them. Well, Sydney is huge and there are many parts that I do not know really well. How can you, when you live 35kms out from the city. But because Bryce used to work in the city for around 20+ years, and Laura too used to work in the city, and went to uni in the city - I guess there's something warmly familiar about this place. Going back to each of the two afore mentioned structures... I spent a day in the city and drew both of these.
You really appreciate architecture (respect is the word), when you have to try to draw every join, every angle. Ken Done was clearly quick and lazy. He could probably knock up one of his colourful paintings in 1/2 an hour. Mine took twice that long! (I actually like Ken Done's art).
