Opera House & travel notes

#404 Opera House
Larger Image.

A hot hazy day with little colour on the harbour or in the sky but the sails of the Opera house stood out. I love this building. I watched it being built in the ’60s, a real ’50s building, everything had fins & looked ‘futuristic’. On my last night in Sydney, before I moved to New Zealand, group of us hopped over the fence one moonlit night & climbed to the top of the main sail, A night to remember.

Alas, sketched three days ago! Too busy living life to sketch. I am getting further behind, but have plenty of inspiration. We had a good day on the beaches yesterday & today we are with a friend in the Blue Mountains. Stopped in Lane Cove national park on the way. lots of photos of bush, birds & lizards.

Salk Interior

#327 Salk Interior

Here is the interior I spoke about in the last post. Salk said to Kahn – build a building Picasso would want to visit. That is inspiring. I want to find a style that suits my interest in these buildings, it is not to be photo realistic, nor just to have fodder for abstract shapes. (the next one did spring out of a layer from this one.)

But what is it. I’d like it to be fast too! Watch this space.
