Ferry To The City-Plein Air

I painted this painting from North Head looking into Sydney Harbour .The view is awesome. The harbour and all its movements.

“Ferry To The City-Plein Air” is painted from a place I can view all the natural and human movements going on in and out of Sydney Harbour. Including the Manly ferries going to and from the city.
