'A much more sophisticated design from almost the same spot as Hills near Lysterfield but in the summer time. I was trying out ideas of gradations of tone and colour to obtain a sense of space. The colours of the environment were quite lovely. I was after space, through colour and tonal quotations and rhythm in the overall placing of these' - (The Artist)
