Story behind Broich House

Broich House, Perth by Mark Hilsden

Story of Broich House



A FLASH OF GOLD


Walking around the studio.


A flash of light caught his attention, reflected by the gold leaf.


Cheekily, I suggested he could have a picture of his home. 



HOW DID YOU KNOW?


A few months later. 


On seeing the finished artwork, he went quiet. 


He spent a long time looking at it. 


As Rory turned around, I noticed a tear rolling down his cheek.


"How did you know? … It was my father's last creation before he passed away."


To this day, that picture hangs in his study.
