Hi all. On Tuesday afternoon I had a large, original, outdoor painting stolen from my front porch in Cumnor Tce, Woolston.
The painting is of several red and white flowers floating on a dark blue background. It is airbrushed onto a large metal canvas.
It is extremely valuable to me, as it took weeks of work on my part, and was painted for my mother. Market value is upwards of $1000. It would be impossible for me to duplicate it.
Any information regarding it's whereabouts - or its safe return - would be immensely appreciated!
Thank you.
