Artwork Description

This painting depicts my two sons and a friend fishing for 'Toadies' on a still morning after camping overnight on French Island in Western Port Bay, Victoria. The much loved old wooden boat depicted was used by these boys for many years, until deemed unsafe. It was built in about 1935 at San Remo, Philip Island and during its working life was used as a cray fishing boat working in close to the rocky ocean shore along coast around Port Philip and Westernport.

“I had contacted Alicia Rogerson (via bluethumb.com.au) because she had done a painting that I liked called "Wonderful Inspiration" - which was of a beautiful young woman with a very inspirational message written into the artwork. I work as a Kinesiologist and I love having art in my clinic room. I contacted Alicia stating that if she could do a matching image with a young male, I would buy "Wonderful Inspiration" and commission her for its twin. Alicia was great at communicating all through the process. Sending me preliminary designs. And thankfully she was understanding when my (mild) OCD kicked in around dimensions. I am really happy with the final design and cannot wait to get it framed and hung up in my clinic room”

“I found a piece of art that really connected with me. It was fairly priced, but the cost was a little more than I could afford upfront, especially at Christmas time, then with back to school costs. Bluethumb and the artist were understanding and agreed to a longer lay-buy, which is now settled. The approach taken by Bluethumb to facilitate the purchase was much appreciated. Their communications and updates are very customer focused. Thanks Bluethumb - I cannot wait to hang my artwork!”
