21.01.2022 Redfords Stolen Mob Oil on Board Size:90 x 135 cm For anyone who does not know the story, Harry Redford was a stockman and cattle thief. ... In 1870 he was responsible for stealing a mob of about 1,000 cattle from Bowen Downs Station near Longreach before taking them through the Channel Country and across the Strzelecki Desert to South Australia. He eventually sold the mob at Blanchewater Station near Marree. He was apprehended for the crime in 1872. But a sympathetic jury in Roma acquitted him. #hughsawrey #harryredford #starlightslookout #equineart #australianartist #longreach #bowendowns #Maree #Channelcountry #Strzelecki #westernqueensland #southaustralia #blanchewaterstation #tiffanyjonesfineart

20.01.2022 Jim Hancock (The Stockman), Caradoc Station, White Cliffs, NSW Oil on canvas Size:75 x 60 cm... Besides his horse paintings and scenes of outback life Hugh Sawrey was also a very capable portraitist. This work of James (Jim) Hancock of Caradoc station was executed in the 1980s and is one of his best portrait works still in circulation. #hughsawrey #australianartist #Whitecliffs #Hancock #caradoc #portraitart #Yancannia #outbackstations #brokenhill #outbacknsw #stationlife #sidkidman #tiffanyjonesfineart

Viewing Times: Wednesday 19th to Saturday 22nd 10am - 6pm Sunday 23rd from 10am.Location: 110 Melbourne St, North Adelaide SA Lot 35 The Mouth Organ Player, Darcy Dwyer’s Kogan Creek Hotel Oil on Canvas 120x166cm Signed Lower Right Frame Measurement: 140 x 187cm $30-40,000 From the catalogue: There is arguably no Australian painter with greater expertise in depicting life in the outback pub. His narrative paintings have kept alive a wonderful, robust old Australian way of rural life. Sawrey knew it well, for he too was a rustic. He was an old stockman and he even founded the Stockman’s Hall of Fame. His paintings convey good spirit and lots of fun. He had a particular fondness for this small town, Kogan, on the Darling Downs. In this depiction, the mistress of the pub clearly is singing along to the music. We may only see the backs of most of the blokes but they are clearly of ample girth. Beer is no stranger to their diet. Sawrey had a fairly tough life working as a teen in outback Queensland to support his family during the Depression. He was a shearer and drover who taught himself to paint by campfire light and thus record the world around him. In the early 1960s he was able to go to Brisbane and work full time as an artist. He became one of the country’s respected exponents of horse painting and indeed, one of Australia’s most beloved painters. As the years roll on, this wonderful larrikin Australian and his quintessentially Aussie art have become hotter and hotter property among collectors. Elder Fine Art has always been proud to handle his works. #elderfineart #hughsawrey #kogan #darlingdowns #outbackpub #westernqueensland #australianart #australianfineart #australianoilpainting

02.01.2022 Here is another painting being passed off as a Hugh Sawrey original I discovered during one of my routine image searches.. It has painted by another person with a poor HS signature added. Take care out there and buyer beware.
