• Notes:
  Penleigh Boyd’s favourite painting sites included the River Yarra and Portsea on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria; and Sydney Harbour, the Hawkesbury and Blue Mountains in New South Wales. As a colourist he was unrivalled, as attested by the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne acquiring through the Felton Bequest that symphony of golden wattle, "The Breath of Spring", 1919 the same year as it was painted. The rich New South Wales’ output of these years is also seen today in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra with its numerous holdings of Boyd’s paintings from this period – "The Blue Mountains", c.1922 and Early Morning, Watson’s Bay", 1922 being fine examples.
