McGrath, S, The Artist and the River: Arthur Boyd and the Shoalhaven, Bay Books, 1982
"I painted this in the hills behind Riversdale: It had been raining. I was just trying to get the pinkness of the trunks of the trees. It was the first time in the Shoalhaven that I painted a sky that wasn't pure blue. It's about wetness and the scraggy bush."
Arthur Boyd quoted in McGrath, S, The Artist and the River: Arthur Boyd and the Shoalhaven, Bay Books, 1982
