Sandstone is such a distinctive feature of Sydney. The city is built on it and out of it so we see it all over the place in new and in aged form.

I love drawing and painting it. I started drawing the wind and water eroded sandstone rocks in my teens (see these drawings
here) and continued with etchings and coloured pencil drawings (which can also be found in my website) and even some book illustrations exploring this lovely stone.
Here are a series of sketches done since June 2013, in no particular order.
