This watercolor tries to relive the Australia of 1957 or thereabouts when the second version of our own Holden ruled the roads and every town had a Holden Dealership. This building in Ross Tasmania is now a Second Hand Dealership and looks much as I have painted it .The Ute is much like the one my father owned as a Grocery Shop owner in Brisbane Queensland. At 17 I got my driver's licence in 1960 and did home deliveries for his customers.
About the Artist
David Bleakley
I'm an 81 year old retired surgeon . Art has been my lifelong obsession away from work and now my main focus in life together with woodwork. I enjoy creating and making in any medium but have always gravitated to drawing and watercolour. I've also had limited training in etching and sculpture.
