Welly Bob Days

This heartening artwork is a homage to two of the artist's most loved and recognisable paintings; 'Just Us Ducks' and 'Family Reunion'. Here, the little girl has grown a little older as has the duck. The title comes from a family saying 'welly bob day', used on a day when it is raining but the children still want to play outside. The bright yellow of the coat and duck continue to perfectly contrast the monochromatic setting which, this time, is an elegant yet industrial cobbled street.

Celebrating Bob's 15 years as an artist with us, this artwork forms part of his important 2022 collection From Yesterday to Here. Across the collection, we see references to some of his most critical artworks, themes and inspirations. From the landscape of his own childhood to a contemporary adaptation of a sell-out artwork; you can view the full collection here.
