Bruce Buchanan - just in. 'Red Fishing Boat, Skye' 67x100cm. Be quick, this one won't last.

'During a recent trip to Skye, off the west coast of Scotland, I came across this small red fishing boat moored against a massive sea wall. There is something a bit naïve about this painting – maybe it is the toy-like scale of the boat and the truck when seen in this context'.

Bruce Buchanan 'The Shower Block' SOLD

This is the latest watercolour from award winning artist Bruce Buchanan.

'The Shower Block' is at the historic Betoota Hotel west of Windorah. Although the pub is now closed, it remains a landmark for travellers heading out to Birdsville. 

From Bruce -'I think the haphazard collection of corrugated iron tanks, the shed and wire fences tells a story about remote places in the Outback - it’s a testimony to do-it-yourself bush plumbing and carpentry'. A beautiful piece at 72x90cm framed with contemporary stained Tasmanian oak. 

Sale price of $1600. Be quick, Bruce's paintings don't last & this one will be no exception!
