Melbourne artist Julie Wilde paints Yandoit’s Duncan McKinnon for Archibald Prize

“Mr McKinnon, who first saw the finished work in October, described the painting as “pretty realistic”, and said he hoped it would come away with an award.

While part of the hut has begun to fall down and Mr McKinnon has been restricted to the front rooms of the quaint property, the historic property which boasts a large open fire still provides the regular meeting place for Mr McKinnon’s mates to come over for a cuppa.

And despite the lack of power, Mr McKinnon says he couldn’t imagine living anywhere else.”
