• Notes:
  Reference: Watson, A. The Art of Roland Wakelin, Volume 2, Sydney 1975 Catalogue no. 173 States: A quickly sketched work with paint spontaneously & roughly applied & forms 'suggested' rather than described. Such an approach was unusual for Wakelin & opposed to the controlled brushwork & careful drawing of many contemporary paintings. It may have been intended originally as a study for a larger picture. The subject - a close-up view of a large rock outcrop - is also unusual for Wakelin who tended to concentrate on more open, broader views.
