She attained a degree in Geography at Glasgow University and went on to train as a teacher. However, she had always painted and her talent was strongly encouraged by her uncle the distinguished Iain Macnab RE ROI (1890 - 1967) who persuaded Sheila to come to London and train under him. Iain Macnab had been Principal at Heatherley's Art School (1925 - 1940) and then went on to be founding Principal of the hugely influential Grosvenor School of Modern Art. Sheila's London influences and Glasgow School foundations evolved into a distinctive and individual style. She usually worked "en plein air" and her work is semi-abstract. She focused mainly on landscape where her training as a geographer, allowed her to use her understanding of land formation, the delicate balance of the seasons and the interaction between Man and the environment. Her uncle's concept of "rhythm" is evident in Sheila's work and remained a constant throughout her career. She painted in Scotland, Spain. France and Italy and exhibited widely, especially in Glasgow, Edinburgh, London and Newcastle. Her work appeared frequently at the Royal Scottish Academy, Royal Glasgow Institute, Paisley Art Institute annual exhibitions and at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (London). She won numerous awards and prizes over a long and distinguished career. In recent times we have offered a growing number of Sheila Macmillan's paintings with several achieving more than £1000.

* HERBERT WHONE (BRITISH 1925 - 2011), INDUSTRIAL LANDSCAPE oil on canvas, signed and dated '68 framed image size 61cm x 118cm, overall size 75cm x 133cm Note: Herbert Whone was born in Bingley, West Yorkshire, where his parents were both employed in the cloth mills. He was encouraged by his mother to ''improve'' himself culturally, and from an early age took photographs and practised the violin. After education at the Royal Manchester College of Music (now the Royal Northern College of Music) and Manchester University, he secured positions in the Royal Opera House Orchestra and the BBC Symphony Orchestra, before moving to Glasgow in 1955, where he took up the position of deputy leader of the Scottish National Orchestra. He was inspired by Glasgow's changing fortunes and painted a series of notable canvases featuring the beauty of a city and surrounding areas in transition. His paintings of trams and shipbuilding on and around the Clyde, to pick two of his fondest subjects, were presented with warmth and beauty, almost impressionistic in their depiction of glowing sunsets and use of rich colour. Herbert Whone (often incorrectly catalogued as Herbert Bannister Whone, his father's name) enjoyed a degree of commercial success and critical acclaim in the 1950s/60s and his early known collectors included Joan Eardley, Margot Sandeman, Cyril Gerber, Johnny Beattie and Magnus Magnusson. In early 2010 we offered "A Clyde Boatyard" by Whone in The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction which sold for £650 (hammer) which at the time was the second highest recorded auction price for the artist. This relative success ignited our interest in Herbert Whone and when another example came to us a few months later, we included a lengthy lot essay in the catalogue to help inform and inspire collectors. In the years since we have continued to promote Herbert Whone's paintings which has seen us set new auction records at £2100, £3000, £4200, £6000, £7000, £8000, £11000, £13000 and then in September 2021 "Tram & Figures in Rain, Byres Road" (by Whone) sold for £18,000 (hammer). Although most of the Whone paintings we have offered are of Scottish scenes, his exceptional North of England paintings have also been growing in value "The Old Farmhouse" selling for £4900 and "Factories in the Snow" achieving £8000. The numbers of Herbert Whone paintings appearing at auction are small but the buyer demand continues to grow. Public collections include: Glasgow Museums & Galleries, The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, The Hepworth, Kirklees Museums & Galleries, Salford Museums & Galleries and The Mercer Gallery (Harrogate). A copy of "Herbert Whone, Glasgow - In Transition" (a 112 page illustrated hardback book) accompanies this lot.

* COLIN FRASER (SCOTTISH b. 1956), BREAKING WAVES egg tempera on panel, signed, titled and dated 2000 label versoframed and under glassimage size 78cm x 108cm, overall size 107cm x 137cm Label verso: The Gatehouse Gallery, GlasgowComment: An outstanding and very large work by Colin Fraser and probably the largest example to be offered at auction.Note 1: By repute, the lady is the artist's wife. Colin Fraser's work rarely appears at auction but in 2021 Bonhams, London sold "Warm Light" (61 x 65cm egg tempera) by Fraser for £3000 (hammer) - lot 153, Modern British & Irish Art 28th April 2021 and in The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 10th November 2022 lot 61 "Early Morning Light" (a 67 x 46cm egg tempera) by Colin Fraser sold for £2200 (hammer).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 succesful solo shows for Colin Fraser in 2015, 2017, 2019 & 2022.

Andy Warhol, born Andrew Warhola in 1928 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was an American artist and leading figure in the Pop Art movement. He is widely recognized for his innovative and influential approach to art, blending elements of consumer culture, mass media, and celebrity.Warhol's work challenged traditional notions of art and elevated everyday objects and popular culture into the realm of fine art. He embraced the idea of art as a commodity, employing techniques of mass production, such as screen printing, to create multiple versions of his iconic images. His art often featured familiar objects and subjects, including Campbell's soup cans, Coca-Cola bottles, celebrities, and everyday people.One of Warhol's most iconic series is the Campbell's Soup Cans, created in 1962. This series consisted of 32 individual paintings, each depicting a different flavor of Campbell's soup. By repetitively depicting a mundane and mass-produced item, Warhol questioned notions of originality and uniqueness in art, while also commenting on the proliferation of consumer culture.Warhol's fascination with celebrity and fame is evident in his portraits of famous individuals, such as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and Elizabeth Taylor. He often employed bright, bold colors and employed a silkscreen technique to create his images, resulting in a distinctive and almost graphic aesthetic.Beyond painting, Warhol expanded his artistic practice to encompass various media, including film, photography, sculpture, and performance art. He famously stated that "in the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes," reflecting his interest in the fleeting nature of fame and the influence of mass media on society.Warhol's studio, known as The Factory, became a gathering place for artists, musicians, actors, and other cultural icons, fostering a sense of collaboration and experimentation. His innovative approach to art and his unconventional persona made him a central figure in the avant-garde scene of the 1960s and beyond.Andy Warhol's impact on the art world and popular culture is immeasurable. His work challenged artistic conventions and redefined the boundaries of what could be considered art. Through his exploration of consumer culture, celebrity, and mass media, he created a visual language that continues to resonate with audiences today. Warhol's legacy as an artist and cultural icon remains influential, with his works exhibited in major museums and his ideas continuing to inspire contemporary artists around the world.Andy Warhol - "Bighorn Ram" from 'Endangered Species' - USA, 1983.
