This painting is a depiction of a road trip to Armidale. On this trip I was sketching as fast as the landscape went by. We stopped at Thunderbolts rock, I climbed it and did more sketches. Back in the studio I did the painting, the strongest recollection was the horizon and the beautiful granite boulders, the rest is abstract expression  in delicious oil paint pigments. The looseness of the foreground is in contrast with the horizon so the painting is fluid and in motion ( just like the New England Highway)

Phil Stallard
‘In the 90’s I was exhibiting in Paddington, my studio was in Bondi Junction, and I painted the working harbour, Watsons Bay, Parsley Bay, Garden Island, Cockatoo Island, North Head working my way westward along the Parramatta River.  So, with nothing but vague memories I have produced a series of paintings based on these recollections. The paintings are luminous and are saturated with fondness, they resemble Haiku’s, the present distilled by the past as I am driven to explore the beauty of our surroundings.’
