Lawrence Coulson  (British, b. 1962) Autumn Moon, 1971 Oil on board Signed & dated to front Framed  49 x 19cm (19" x 7") Coulson was from a young age always keen on drawing. At the age of 21 he was encouraged by his father (a successful painter himself) to re-awaken my interest in art by copying some Victorian landscape paintings taken from old Sotheby’s catalogues. Using oil paints on canvas his initial works were proficient enough to make me want to do more and improve upon these.  Within a few weeks he had sold his first painting, and over the next 14 years worked hard enough in his spare time to forge a technique and a reputation that led him to becoming a full time painter in 1997.

Elisabeth Collins (British, 1904–2000) Untitled  Ink and watercolour on paper Signed lower right in pencil Framed & glazed Measures approx. 27cm x 21cm (10.5" x 8.5") Elisabeth Collins (British, 1904-2000) was a painter, sculptor. Trained at Leeds School of Art and Royal College of Art, London. Elisabeth Ramsden; on 3 April 1931 married Cecil Collins. Both artists worked in similar styles and often featured elements of folklore or fantasy in their paintings, which led to Elisabeth Collins' work being somewhat overshadowed by that of her husband. Elisabeth also frequently modelled for her husband and worked to support and encourage his work. For a time she exhibited under the name Belmoat to distinguish her work from his. From 1937 to 1945 the couple lived near the artistic community at Dartington Hall, the then home of Leonard Elmhirst and Dorothy Elmhirst, and this was perhaps Elisabeth Collins' most productive period as an artist.[5] Working in gouache, ink and watercolour, Collins produced dream-like images of mystical figures that recalled the work of the surrealists she had previously met in Paris in the early 1930s. From 1948 the Collinses lived in Cambridge where they were among the founders of the Cambridge Society of Painters and Sculptors.  At other times the couple lived in London, Yorkshire and Oxford. In 1973 Collins and her husband were jointly commissioned to decorate a chapel in Chichester Cathedral.[5] After his death in 1989, Elisabeth Collins used her husband's studio to produce a body of work. Retrospective exhibitions of Elisabeth Collins' art were held at both the Albemarle Gallery in London during 1989 and at England & Co. in 1996. Following the England & Co. exhibition, the Tate in London acquired four works by her.

Mike Bernard (British, b. 1957) Orange Rooftops, Cornwall,  Fishing village  Mixed media on paper Signed lower right Framed & glazed Measure approx. 47cm x 76cm (18.5" x 30") Mike Bernard was born in Kent in 1957. He trained at the West Surrey College of Art & Design, Farnham, followed by postgraduate studies at the Royal Academy Schools. Since then he has exhibited widely in London and the provinces. The artist was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour in 1997. He moved to Devon in 2008 where he has been inspired by the amazing light. Mike Bernard enjoys experimenting with media and techniques, often using mixed media incorporating collage and acrylics. Mike has used paper collage for several years and has developed a highly original and appealing style of his own. As a base to his paintings it has allowed him to create abstract structures that in turn develop into those “happy accidents” which come about from time to time. Random textures, colours and shapes suddenly fall into place. This method allows picture to evolve their own personality as they progress, which avoids them becoming over-representational.
