Cross Stitch DIY Kit-Bailed Up by Tom Roberts
$185.00
‘Bailed up’ by Tom Roberts captures the harshness of summertime in Kamilaroi Country in northern New South Wales. The scene was painted from a purpose-built platform installed in a stringy bark tree, placing Tom Roberts level with the road. Townspeople from nearby Inverell posed as models. They included stagecoach driver ‘Silent’ Bob Bates, who had been held up by local bushranger Captain Thunderbolt (Fred Ward) three decades earlier. Bates recalled to Roberts ‘the quiet way the whole thing took place’, which is what the artist captured here.
The colors selected for the cross stitch kit have been expertly matched to the original painting.
