Sandra Blow RA, British 1925–2006 - Summer (Ridgeway), 2005; acrylic and hessian collage on canvas, signed and dated lower right 'Blow 05', further signed, titled, dated and inscribed on the reverse 'Blow 05 Title: Ridgeway', 59 x 59 cm (ARR) Note: together with exhibition catalogue: New Millennium Gallery, St Ives Provenance: with Caroline Weissman Modern Art, London (according to the label on the reverse); private collection Note: Blow is considered to be one of the pioneering abstract artists of the 1950s who introduced a new form of expressive painting to Britain, often using everyday discarded materials such as sawdust, sackcloth and plaster, as well as paint. Although considerably younger than many of her contemporaries of this early period, she was at the forefront of the abstract movement. The present work is an exemplary piece of her later period, showing her skillful techniques towards creating abstract form, light, space, texture and rhythm.
William Samuel Horton, American 1865-1936 - Landscape study; oil on panel, inscribed on the reverse 'Horton L431', 23.5 x 33 cm Provenance: with Christies, South Kensington, Topographical Pictures 24th May 1990, lot 39, illus. p.34 Note: Horton spent a large part of his life living and training in France and England. Having trained along side Whistler, Monet, Degas and Pissarro, Horton developed his own personal style, influenced by the Impressionists. His primary focus was the effects of light on shapes, and he would often paint the same landscape at different times of the day, exploring the variation in light and shadows. Horton would go on to be one of the main members of the American Impressionist movement alongside Mary Cassett and Childe Hassam.
Andrei Yakovlevich Beloborodoff, Russian 1886-1965 - A Design for an Open-Air theatre at Ivy House, Golders Green, Home Of Anna Pavlova; watercolour on card, heightened with bodycolour and pen & sepia ink, signed lower right 'A Beloborodoff', signed and inscribed on the reverse '...[?] Beloborodoff /...z[?]iante per il Balletto di Anna Pavlova,gallo... / N. 16', 19 x 23.5 cm Note: Beloborodov began his career as an architect and designer at the very end of Russia's "Silver Age". He studied at the Academy of Arts in St Petersburg. Early on in his studies he developed a particular affinity for Italian architecture, in particular the Italian expatriate Quarenghi, whose buildings could be seen all around the old capital. He gave a speech in 1912 where he spoke of protecting the architect's Zavadovskii Palace, he began work on a project to issue a book with architectural plans and sketches of the Palace. Although global circumstances prevented this from coming to fruition, it established Beloborodov's reputation among St Petersburg high society. He received commissions from clients such as the Count & Countess Bobrinski, the Obolenskiis and Prince Felix Iusopov. His career in Russia reached its zenith with a commission from Tsar Nicholas II to design the public halls at the Cabinet of His Royal Highness at Anichkov Palace in 1913-14. During this period, he also came to know the leading figures of the arts in Russia, including Benois, Stravinsky, Nijinski and Anna Pavlova. His time in Russia was cut short by the Great War and subsequent revolution, and he moved to London in 1920. Here he designed sets for the Royal Albert Hall, including for his former client and friend Prince Iusopov's 'Blue Ball', held in support of refugees from Soviet Russia. It was while he was in London that this design for Anna Pavlova's ballet was executed (1). Pavlova was iving in Ivy House, in Golder's Green, where she kept a small ornamental pond for her pet swans, with which she became associated in the popular conception: "I stayed on in England for several months (executing a project for an open-air theatre for the great ballerina in "Swan" park...)" (2) The so-called 'Swan Park' at Ivy House was already well-known as the setting for many press photographs of Pavlova. Her performance of The Dying Swan, her posing as a Swan for The Sketch in a window of Selfridges and numerous other deliberate associations had solidified her image as this elegant creature in the mind of the public (3). Ivy House itself was built in the 18th century and is said to have been home to J.M.W. Turner at one point prior to Pavlova's purchase of it in 1913 (4). Beloborov went on to have a glittering career in Italy after his short stay in England. This was a place where he could fully indulge the innate Italophilia which he had already admitted to in 1911-1912: "The world of painting was always linked for me to my dream of Italy..." and he developed an "...'Italian backbone' which fuses all of my art" (5). In 1924 he held his first solo exhibition at the Galerie Charpentier in Paris and would continue to exhibit at other galleries across Europe. In Italy he became a close friend of the artist Giorgio de Chirico, and his architectural designs and interiors were critically acclaimed by collectors and the cognoscenti in that country. He is best remembered for his later fantastical views of Rome and other grand Italian cities: these are generally devoid of people and often sparkling in an otherworldly glow (de Chirico rightly perceptively saw it as a 'Platonic' light (6)) which have a surreal element to them and show off his fantastic architectural draughtsmanship. Later in life he also excelled in designing costumes and sets for opera and cinema in Italy.

* COLIN FRASER (SCOTTISH b. 1956),WHITE ORCHIDSegg tempura on card, titled label versoimage size 49cm x 49cm, overall size 71cm x 71cm Framed and under glass.Label verso: The Gatehouse Gallery, Glasgow.Note 2: Colin Fraser was born in Glasgow in 1956. He studied art in Brighton while in his twenties before moving to Lund in southern Sweden, where he lives with his wife and children. He exhibits regularly at the Royal Academy Summer Show, Catto Gallery and Petley Fine Art in London, Mira Godard Gallery in Canada as well as at galleries in New York and Glasgow. His work is held in numerous private and corporate collections throughout North America, the UK, Europe and Asia. Ever since his first exhibition in Brighton in 1978, Colin Fraser has worked almost exclusively in egg tempera, which has the benefit of being very long lasting, with examples over two thousand years old still in existence, and was the most widely used painting medium until the sixteenth century, when it was superseded by oils. However, it is also extraordinarily time-consuming. The painted surface must be built up layer by translucent layer, with the paint drying instantaneously and not amenable to manipulation afterwards, unlike oil paints. Although a notoriously difficult medium, it has become a firm favourite of Fraser’s, who says that the “restrictions have been paramount in helping me be more direct in my approach to the work, with the instant drying and transparency of the paint actively contributing to a higher level of spontaneity of execution”. Colin Fraser is particularly drawn to its vitality which reminds him “of the dynamism of the sun – never static, always changing”. “Observed light is usually what attracts me into the process of painting,” he says. “The surface of a work painted in tempera simply has a unique glow which cannot be imitated in other mediums”. Constructing each painting is an arduous process, each beginning with an idea or a chance observation followed by weeks of experimentation with arrangements and preparatory drawings. Many of his scenes are staged with strategic placement of chairs, diaphanous textiles and trays of fruit. He believes that the painter “chooses the content and the arrangement, and then it becomes a question of striving to achieve a particular mood”. The prestigious Catto Gallery (London) has staged highly successful solo shows for Colin Fraser in 2015, 2017, 2019 & 2022.
* ETHEL WALKER (SCOTTISH b. 1941),STUDY IN BLUEoil on board, signed, titled and dated 2001 label versoimage size 82cm x 82cm, overall size 101cm x 101cm Framed and under glass. Label verso: The Gatehouse Gallery, Glasgow.Comment: a superb example of Ethel Walker's celebrated still life paintings and almost certainly the largest Ethel Walker we've ever offered.Note: Ethel Walker was born in Ayrshire, Scotland, in 1941. She graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 1964 where she had been taught by David Donaldson, once the Queen's portrait painter. Beginning her career as a teacher, by the age of twenty-seven she was a full-time artist. Walker is one of the most successful female painters working in Scotland today. Her talent in capturing the ever-changing light of the Scottish landscape is outstanding, and her subtle but strong still life paintings are highly-prized. Work is held in many public and corporate collections worldwide, including the Royal Bank of Scotland and Sara Lee Holdings. In The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 12th September 2021 "The Silver Table" (lot 562), a mixed media by Ethel Walker sold for £2600 (hammer) and in our December 2021 auction "The Lace Cloth" (a slightly smaller oil on board than "Study in Blue") achieved £3000 (hammer).

Main is a full-time painter, a winner of the Hiram Walker Award and the Lauder Award, and has studios in Glasgow, Athens and Brodick, Isle of Arran. The artist has been strongly influenced by the Scottish Colourists (in particular, J. D. Fergusson) and the Glasgow School, with its emphasis on light and shade, use of colour and sensuous handling of paint, and traditional pursuit of academic excellence. Her great love of nature underpins her joie de vivre and essential optimism, of which her work is a direct and fluent complement and statement.

* CHARLES NEAL (BRITISH b. 1951),WOMAN GATHERING WOODoil on canvas, signed, titled versoimage size 51cm x 41cm, overall size 64cm x 54cm Framed.Note: Charles Neal is currently one of the leading landscape painters in England and has had many major exhibitions. His style blends realism and impressionism while focusing on light and shadow with stunning subtleties of colour. In 1994 his The Painted Garden Exhibition was opened by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales at The Museum of Garden History in Lambeth, followed by “Coastline” in conjunction with the National Trust. Charles Neal has exhibited in London, New York and the Royal Society of British Artists and his work is represented in many private and corporate collections. Charles Neal is one of England’ s finest and most successful landscape painters. His works are sought after in increasing numbers for prestigious collections worldwide. As a trained engineer and artist, Neal utilises these two disciplines to produce a rare mix of developed skill and natural flair, making him an artist of choice for art collectors all over the world. Neal is committed to a plein air approach, blending the values of French Impressionism with the naturalistic traditions of English landscape painting. Expertly capturing and preserving fleeting effects of light, the physicality of the location with its unique atmosphere and sense of time and place, Charles Neal deftly crystallizes the essence of his chosen location in the painted image. Over the years his paintings have steadily increased in value. His paintings can be seen in Royal, private and commercial collections all over the world, and in recent years he has had two major public exhibitions under the patronage of HRH The Prince of Wales and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. Neal has also had solo exhibitions with the National Trust, Royal Horticultural Society, Surrey Wildlife Trust, The Museum of Garden History in London, and The Docklands Museum London. His paintings have also been hung at the Royal Society of British Artists and, internationally, at exhibitions in New York, Palm Beach, Barcelona, Paris and Dubai. Charles Neal’s early painting period was initially influenced through frequent visits in his teenage years to the Amsterdam Rijksmuseum, Stedelijk and Van Gogh museums. In the 1980’s Neal began to paint professionally, working in association with Omell Galleries London and later joined Campbell’s of London and Astley House Fine Art. It was during this period that he became interested in the French Impressionists, in particular Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley and Camille Pissarro, for their lightness of touch, sense of celebration of nature and the daily round of life in general. Further, the ‘en plein air’ approach to painting was a logical move forward and at the same time had reference to Constable’s outdoor sketches. In 2003 Charles Neal joined Wally Findlay Galleries (New York and Palm Beach). Subsequently Neal has painted further thematic series of works that have been incorporated in gallery exhibitions or as special events linked to The National Trust, The Royal Horticultural Society, Surrey Wildlife Trust, The National Rowing Museum, Henley and the Docklands Museum London and The Blenheim Foundation.

* HOWARD BUTTERWORTH (SCOTTISH b. 1945),THE RIVER DEE (ROYAL DEESIDE)oil on canvas, signedimage size 60cm x 90cm, overall size 77cm x 107cm Framed.Provenance: We are grateful to The Butterworth Gallery for confirming: "the location is Royal Deeside Aberdeenshire probably painted in in the late 80's and early 90's. The River - Is the River Dee from the South Deeside Road between Aboyne and Dinnet, just before the sawmill with Morven and has a wee cottage and views of the gliding strip fields". The typical gallery price for a Howard Butterworth of these dimensions is in excess of £9000. Note: Born in Rochdale in 1945, Howard Butterworth is a renowned Scottish artist who has lived and painted professionally in Northern Scotland since 1968. Howard captures the atmospheric light and colours of Scotland especially around Balmoral, Royal Deeside, Cairngorms National Park and the Scottish Highlands. Capturing the moods and seasons as only an Aberdeenshire based artist painting outdoors can, Butterworth paints 'en plein air' and he describes his style of painting as "emotional realism". He conveys the sense of being in a particular place at a particular moment in time and the experience and feeling of Nature's constantly changing colours and light. Howard Butterworth paintings are held in private and corporate collections worldwide, particularly his paintings of Scotland including those of native birchwoods, Caledonian pine forests, heather covered moorland, snow-capped mountains and the lively waters and bridges of Royal Deeside. Howard Butterworth's patrons include private and corporate buyers with several paintings featuring in the Royal Collections of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother who closely supported him over the years.
* FIONA STURROCK,STILL LIFE OF FLOWERS IN A VASEoil on board, signedimage size 59cm x 59cm, overall size 79cm x 79cm Framed.Note: Fiona Sturrock’s paintings demonstrate her love of colour and the practice of mixing colour, laying down patterns of light, shade and texture to produce bold representations of what she is observing. She tends to work on one painting at a time, giving it full focus and energy, which often translates visibly in the intensity of colour and boldness of the finished piece of work. Fiona paints from a mixture of life scenes, photographs and imagination.
