Yes, there’s a big movement in painting everything from silos to water tanks, bus shelters to sheds. The Silo Art Trail in Victoria (and other states) has been a great success, breathing new life into small communities like Devenish and Lascelles. Yet there’s also a group of paintings by Sidney Nolan completed in and around Dimboola in 1942 when he was stationed there during WWII. Mostly sketches, many of the works feature the unmistakable outline of a silo looming in the background.
