Teddington Below the Weir

Holly Wood

The Work

The painting depicts Teddington Weir, a real and still-existing landmark on Tinana Creek near Maryborough, Queensland — captured here from below the weir itself, framed by dense native bush and calm water.

Provenance

This piece was inherited from my grandfather, who won it in a Maryborough Art Society raffle — the original raffle ticket, dated 28 June 1997, survives with the piece. He and my grandmother (his second wife, as my biological grandmother passed away when I was a baby) travelled often with groups like Probus, and would occasionally buy or win art on these trips. This was one such piece.


Ask about the price, make an offer, or simply ask a question — payment is arranged directly (bank transfer, PayID, or cash).

Framing

It remains in its original frame — not the finest quality, but entirely typical of the era — and I've chosen to keep it exactly as it came to me, as part of its story.

About Holly Wood

Holly Wood was a pastel artist exhibiting with the Maryborough Art Society — a volunteer-run community art society founded in 1947 and still operating today from the historic Winter Garden Theatre building in Maryborough, Queensland. No independent public record of Holly Wood's practice survives beyond this piece and its raffle documentation, but the work itself speaks to a confident, observational hand well suited to capturing the quiet character of the local landscape.
