About This Work

The Old Shearer Shearing sheep had become such a large industry in Australia from the 1880’s to the 1960’s that it used to be said that we lived off the sheep’s back. Many of the old shearers are now gone though anumber of the old shearers are still alive like my mate Harold who has just turned 91 years of age. The old shearer in this picture however is no longer alive having passed on a year or two ago. He was also an artist, well loved by his family and the community where he lived across the Great Dividing Range in New South Wales Australia where the sheep country began and spread many thousands of miles into central Australia and North to Queensland via the back of Bourke. This work is a mixed media with three layers, firstly willow charcoal, second layer is ultramarine blue ink and the final layer is oil pastel from France. The surface is Stonehenge paper, 300gsm. This work is unframed and will be wrapped well and sentin a cylinder to its purchaser, with tracking and need of a signature for confirmation of delivery.
