Sydney From North Head

Russell Prescott, Sydney from North Head, oil on canvas.

- Prescott's beautifully rendered landscape is rugged, wild and yet perfectly contained within the Sydney cityscape. Like tiles lining the sky, the office towers are made secondary to the warmth of the scraggly gums and orange highlighted dry grasses - each twig, branch and blade of grass inching closer towards the sweeping cool breeze from the water. It is a snapshot of an iconic view from North Head, yet one which keeps the focus on the rawness of the bush.
