'At this time Peter and I were living in the Sydney suburb of Avalon at Stella James House, which we loved. Designed by Walter Burley Griffin, it was surrounded by bush and very atmospheric with a small fireplace in an enormous stone wall. The sea mist rose up through eucalypts into the house and we had the fire going throughout most of the year. This is where I drew and painted many of my bush subjects.'
