It is inspired by his observation of the making of the film called Always Afternoon, directed by the artist's life-long friend David Stevens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe film was set during the 1st World War in Australia, and rather than painting what he saw being filmed, Watson was captivated by the actors and extras who, appearing lost in their own world's, relaxed off set between filming.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA great admirer and collector of the Always Afternoon series of paintings is Sir James Wolfensohn. The artist was delighted to learn the affect his paintings had on the former President of the World Bank, when they first met in New York in the offices of investment firm, James D.
