Artist's Inspiration
I had long wondered about this 'Pulpit Rock' in the Shoalhaven. I knew it was sort of opposite Arthur Boyd's property 'Bundanon' so I decided the next free day I would check it out.
The next 'free' day turned out to be nearly 40 degrees... but I decided I had put it off long enough! Well, I found it and it's not a long walk by any stretch but delightful just the same. After dawdling, taking pics and doing small pencil sketches, I found a little possie for lunch. It was just short of the top but had a little shade and a rock where I could balance my painting gear etc. My plan had been to do some oil painting... but as the day wore on the heat started to get to me, so I settled for some pen and watercolour instead.
