Notes
During this period, McCahon was experimenting with a number of commercial oil and water-based paints. In some cases, he mixed these with artists' oil colours. The exact nature of the medium can be difficult to determine. This work is known to have been executed in 'Latex' paint, a brand of commercial plastic paint McCahon used for a short period at the beginning of the Waterfall series.
