‘July on the Maniototo’. Egg Tempera. 585 x 750mm. 1975. Private Collection. “In the initial drawings, the railway goods shed was sheltering a wagon covered in an orange tarpaulin, and I painted it that way; but after some unsettled weeks wondering why it didn’t seem to work, I took it out. Instantly the feel changed from one of ‘shelter from the storm’ to a far more bleak and lonely notion, and much the better for it. A perfect example of trusting painterly instinct over truth and reality. My paintings are so often exercises in dishonesty.” Grahame Sydney

‘Auripo Road’. Egg Tempera. 420 x 748mm. 1979. Private Collection. “This painting came about as a direct result of my car breaking down and me finding myself alone at the roadside, waiting for a passing vehicle to give me a hand. Nearby was a gravel intersection with an assembly of rural mail boxes for the properties down Auripo Road; each with its own private story and character, all hoping – as I was – for some life and relief from the silence and the boredom. As I waited I began to realise there was a subject for me.” Grahame Sydney
