Comparing the artworks of five generations of his family, Jamie Boyd says the differences in each artist’s works say more than the similarities.
“I was looking at a water colour by [great-grandmother] Emma Minnie and it is very similar to my son Nathaniel’s oil painting,” he said.
“They both have very sensitive, almost fragile, handling of the paint. There’s a quality that comes across, a kind of mood.
