Over 70 works including prints, artist’s books, sketchbooks and printing plates from across Peter Kingston’s career are on display, in a moving tribute to the late artist.
Peter Kingston (1943–2022) lived and worked at the edge of Sydney Harbour. After a childhood spent at Parsley Bay, he settled in Lavender Bay among a community of artists and friends. From there, he observed harbour ferries, Luna Park and the Sydney Opera House in all seasons and weather. These were the subjects of his work, often incorporating his boat, the MV Anytime, and his dogs.
Kingston’s output ranged across drawing, printing, painting and filmmaking. A passion for Sydney, for environmental conservation and the preservation of built heritage never left him. Joyful, charming, and with a wry humour, his work celebrates the everyday aspects of our city. Yet there is a bittersweet element to his work. Peter Kingston often talked about ‘time as an artist’, his way of recognising the beauty and value that accumulates with age. His work captures things at risk in a world that is always upgrading, and expresses a nostalgic yearning for those places and characters now lost.

This library is so well equipped!!! I end up going there every day📚💛
Aside from being able to borrow books, there&#39;s also study and work space, presentation practice space, printing, a cafe, and more...
And there&#39;s even a fully-equipped exhibition space✨✨
By the way, the exhibits seem to change depending on the period.
What is this all-inclusive library!! 😭
By the way, there&#39;s also plenty of WiFi.

Blue Mountains National Park was so much fun! It&#39;s very close to Sydney, making it easily accessible, and the scenery is spectacular. The Three Sisters sculpture is quite unique. The cable car is very convenient, making the ride very comfortable and not tiring at all. The food at the restaurants was delicious and reasonably priced. The staff were all very friendly and polite.

Darling Harbour in Australia is really beautiful and worth a visit. The tour guide publishes the perfect itinerary every day and reminds us patiently every day. It is really convenient for a family to go out with a personal butler. It is more comfortable to have a small group with fewer people than a large group.
