The Ants in Conference – SOLD

Bringing fantastic energy and colour is this striking and fun oil, “The Ants in Conference ” by Pro Hart. The painting makes an impact with its vibrant colour representing the rich hues of the earth in the landscape surrounding Broken Hill where Pro lived and worked for most of his life.

Pro’s insect paintings that depict dragonflies and ants are amongst his  most popular and sought after subjects. Many people are curious as to why Pro chose to depict insects in his work. The answer lies in not only Pro’s sense of observation and contemplation about things happening around him that he documented in his paintings, but also in his own beliefs about how to lead a good and productive life.

Pro held a strong Christian faith and was unfailingly generous to countless charities during his life, donating many paintings to help fundraise for important causes and for people in need. Like ants, Pro also held a strong worth ethic. He admired ants for their wisdom, energy and commitment to help each other – a great example in nature of how diligence and teamwork can be for the good of a community, and how in nature’s circle of life nothing is wasted and everything has a purpose.
