Condition Notes
Original watercolour painting in used condition. The work depicts Omerica Mill with atmospheric treatment typical of Lovett's landscape style, featuring soft washes of colour in greens, pinks, and earth tones with architectural detail of the mill structure. The painting shows age-appropriate patina consistent with a work from 1986. Frame shows wear consistent with age and display use, with visible weathering to the outer silver frame finish. Mat boards show minor discolouration and age marks. The artwork itself remains intact with no tears or significant damage visible. Professionally framed at time of creation.

Provenance
Original work by John Lovett, a respected Australian watercolour artist known for landscape and architectural subjects, particularly Victorian regional scenes. This piece represents his characteristic style of atmospheric watercolour technique applied to rural and industrial heritage subjects.

Included
Original framed watercolour painting as photographed
Double mat and frame as shown

Notes for Buyers
This is an original watercolour work, not a print or reproduction. The painting shows authentic artist's signature and dating from 1986. Frame and matting are period-appropriate to the work's creation. Suitable for collectors of Australian landscape watercolours and regional heritage art. Inspect prior to bidding - frame shows age-related wear but painting itself is sound. Pickup only from Melbourne area.
