Fire of Spring by Dorothy Hanton

Painting
Blooming display

Dorothy Millicent Hanton (1906 - 1986) was well known for her floral display paintings. This watercolour painting on paper was made in 1950 and the Shire of Katanning acquired it through the Claude Hotchin Bequest in 1951. Sir Claude Hotchin OBE (1898 – 1977) was an avid collector, dealer and patron of the arts, making bequests to a number of regional Western Australian shires. When Claude Hotchin Galleries at 900 Hay Street Perth closed, 24 works were bequeathed to Katanning through the Katanning Road Board.
