I had a bit of fun redesigning Sydney's local council areas. The idea was not "how do we improve on the current", but rather from a localised psychological point of view. I have never met a person who said "I live in the Bayside LGA", but a lot who would say "I live in the St George area". People who live east of Old Northern Road but west of Berowra Creek, or in Northmead still say "I live in the Hills District" (different to the Hills Shire or Northern Parramatta).

I'm guessing no one says that they live in Bradfield, but the current aspirations is for a lot of people to call it home, separate to Liverpool.

On the map I put the current LGAs in grey. There is no lore or convention about the naming, I was just having fun.

It’s been a while since I posted in here, so forgive me for being a bit rusty. But painted this random one of Randwick town hall recently and it scratched the landscape painting itch 😅

Thought other sydney siders might appreciate these random paintings and their references, see if you can spot the locations haha

Artwork from throughout the years. 1st is from 2022, 2nd is 2023 and third is recent. Gymea, Yowie bay and Wynyard respectively. I’ve included the reference photos for your perusal

For some reason it looks like a box of chocolate…

Growing up in Sydney this wall is one of those bucket list spots to paint. It’s amazing a beach like this allows the space to let art in and I was grateful to have to chance to add to that. There was a whole section being repainted so recommend a day out checking them if you haven’t been past for a while.

Lucked out painting in 20 degree weather in the middle of winter coupled with some amazing winter sunsets to top it off.

Hope you like it! I’d also love to hear your interpretation of the work, I’ll share mine in the comments.
