Tyrie was a NSW artist known for his landscape paintings, and scenes of rural life, dusted with nostalgia. Seasonal local grasses and wildflower are typical in his compositions, and the ripe oranges falling on the ground timestamp the season.
There is a lovely sunny spaciousness about these girls enjoying invented games and seasonal fruits. The detail is minute, drawing us into their world.
Although we can almost smell the citrus and dry grass and hear the hum of summer cicadas, the girls faces are turned away, their thoughts and feelings are a world we cannot enter, a past we cannot touch, it reminds us that we are outside this window, looking into a pleasant memory.
