A Laneway in November

I’ve always loved a good jacaranda, and Sydney seems to be putting on a particularly spectacular display this year.

I also have a soft spot for the backstreets and laneways of Surry Hills with the old terraces and unexpected pockets of greenery. It’s just magic when the streetlights start coming on.

And when you find a magnificent jacaranda hanging over a wet laneway at dusk, well, that’s just about everything I love painting in one place.
