* LILIAN NEILSON (BRITISH 1938-1998), CATTERLINE COAST oil on board, signed 39cm x 61cm Framed Note: Lil Neilson was a member of the quartet who became known as 'The Catterline School' along with Joan Eardley, Annette Stephen and Angus Neil. Note : Lil Neilson studied at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art from 1956-60, including a summer school at Hospitalfield House, Arbroath. She completed a post-diploma year tutored by Hugh Crawford and Alberto Morroco in 1960-61 and was awarded a travelling scholarship to France and Italy in 1961-62. On her return she joined Joan Eardley in Catterline: they had become friends in 1960 at Hospitalfield House and Eardley invited Lil to paint in the studio she and Annette Stephen shared in Catterline. Like many other painters and visitors, Lil became enthralled with the place. At this time Lil also worked backstage with Reet Guenigault in theatres including the Traverse in Edinburgh and also in England, returning to Catterline to nurse Eardley when her illness was diagnosed in the new year of 1963. Reet joined them three months later to take over to give Lil a rest, and after Eardley's death in August of that year Lil bought No 2 South Side, Catterline, to make her home in one half and studio at the other end. Some pictures of this period show Catterline views which Eardley famously painted, especially with the great round moons low in the summer sky. Neilson's foregrounds are less detailed and the viewer's eyes are led upwards towards the sky. Lil continued to work in theatres until 1969, when she returned to Catterline to try to work through the Eardley influences which had been made more than a bitter cup. She felt that she must paint that problem out in Catterline. She spent some time in Norfolk with Gaydon Phillips, but not many paintings of Norfolk exist and she returned to paint in Catterline regularly over the next nine years. She moved permanently to Catterline in 1986 and, once there, Joyce Laing's Pittenweem gallery exhibited some of Lil's work which showed new directions. In 1989, at the influential 369 Gallery, Edinburgh, an exhibition shared with Annette Stephen showed a two-room retrospective of Lil's work. Her last show was 'Certain Days and Other Seasons' (1997) at both Seagate and Aberdeen Art Galleries. Lil pronounced this to be ''the end of my life's work'', prophetically as it turned out, for by August 1997 it became apparent that this private and reticent woman had been working under duress for the past two years as the extent of her disease was discovered. Lil's good friends and neighbours loved and nursed her, enabling her to be in her beloved Catterline until she needed the services of Roxburgh House
* IAN HUGHES (SCOTTISH 1958 - 2014), CANCRE oil on photograph on board, signed and titled verso 135cm x 122.5cm Framed Note: Ian Hughes, who has died aged 55, was a well known, inspirational artist producing dramatic paintings on serious themes. Glasgow born, he graduated from Dundee College of Art in 1980, and after various travelling scholarships and awards, settled in Edinburgh. He was a courageous painter and a kind man. Throughout his career he tackled the difficult issue of mental instability in a most impressive way, both in his pictures and as a psychiatric nurse, never deviating from his cause, never painting for the market place, never sensationalising his subject. His work was recognised with major exhibitions at the Scottish National Gallery, and in Rostov-on-the-Don. He is also represented in many UK public museums, including The Whitworth Museum Manchester, Talbot Rice Edinburgh, Tate Gallery, Fleming Collection London, Coutts Bank and Shell. Abroad, his work is found in France, the US, Russia and Poland, and Sean Connery, Bob Geldof, Nick Nairn, Madonna, Peter Gabriel and Lord Maclennan MP are among his many collectors. In 1986, Hughes and his friend Phil Braham showed together at Main Fine Art, Glasgow in Double Vision. It was a memorable year. The pair had objected to the lack of Scottish art in the festival programme and decided to stir things up by hanging pictures on the railings of Edinburgh's Royal Scottish Academy. Festival director Frank Dunlop took up the challenge with a show of young emerging Scottish artists, which evolved into two big official festival exhibitions, Artists at Work in 1986, and 1987's The Vigorous Imagination, a seminal exhibition which finally asserted the vitality and diverse potency of contemporary Scottish art. It is an added poignancy that Hughes died on the eve of the opening of Generation, the biggest celebration of Scottish art ever.
