Melbourne loomed large within my watercolour oeuvre, especially in the period 1994-1997. The cosmopolitan feel of the city streets, the wet roads, the trams, the grand old Flinders Street Station, Young & Jacksons, the Yarra, the port with its cranes and container ships ... everything seemed to scream out 'watercolour'. Not far to the southwest stretches the Great Ocean Road which hugs the dramatic Victorian Coast on its way towards Adelaide. My first trip along that rugged ragged coastline inspired many seascapes thereafter.
