* JANE DUCKFIELD (BRITISH 1944 -2016), POPPIES & THE HARVEST

acrylic on board, signed, titled verso framed and under glass image size 61cm x 61cm, overall size 80cm x 79cm Note: Jane was born and educated in Yorkshire. She later trained at the Forgan Arts Centre and Dundee College, she was described by an art critic at her first exhibition as 'painting tumbling landscape in sonorous tones'. Many years residence in rural Fife and love of Scotland provide an abundance of both. She exhibited regularly at galleries in Braemar, St Andrews, Cupar, Dunkeld, Pitlochry, Dundee and Kirkcaldy, where she was selected in both 1996 and 1997 for a Shell Expo Award at the Fife Artists' Exhibition. The judges observed 'A beautiful familiarity with the landscape'. Jane was also a great favourite at The Pittenweem Art Festival for many years. Paintings by Jane Duckfield have now travelled to most parts of the world, from America to Australia, but family holidays are taken in the beautiful Highlands and Islands of Scotland, which feature strongly in her work.
