Gift of (Professor) Dr J.V. Duhig 1939

FW Potts painted scenes of his farm at Flaxton on the Blackall Range, exhibiting more than 170 landscapes and still lifes (predominantly watercolours) at the Royal Queensland Art Society over a period of 40 years. Dr James Duhig, a noted Brisbane art patron, once remarked: ‘I believe that this is a particularly fine piece of work and I doubt whether a better watercolour painting of a landscape has even been done in Queensland’.
