Mini Story:
A beautifully nostalgic glimpse into rural Victoria, this original 1976 watercolour by David Prosser captures the quiet charm of the Western District. Featuring a weathered farmhouse nestled among rolling paddocks and framed by iconic gum trees, the work reflects a timeless Australian landscape that continues to resonate today.
Signed and dated by the artist, and with original handwritten details to the verso, this is a genuine piece of Australian artistic expression—warm, familiar, and evocative of a slower pace of life.
