* SHEILA MACMILLAN DA PAI (SCOTTISH 1928 - 2018) ZAHARA (SPAIN) oil on board, signed and dated '05 - titled and dated 14.09.05 verso but obscured by the backboardframed and under glassimage size 48cm x 39cm, overall size 66cm x 57cm Note: Sheila Macnab Macmillan was born in Glasgow in 1928. 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. The current leading price is £1700 (hammer) for "Ronda, Spain", a 45 x 48cm oil on board (lot 510A, The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction 24th October 2021).

* WILLIAM BIRNIE RSW RGI (SCOTTISH 1929 - 2006), LANDING PLACE oil on board, signed, titled label versoframedimage size 100cm x 26cm, overall size 113cm x 39cmLabel verso: The Open Eye Gallery, Edinburgh.Comment: Although undated, "Landing Place" is very obviously a late career painting and shows the freedom and confidence Birnie gained from widespread critical and commercial success.Note: Bill Birnie studied at Glasgow School of Art under Gilbert Spencer and then at Hospitalfield under Ian Fleming. After graduating, he joined the staff at Hyndland Secondary School in 1952. That same year he was also elected a member of the Society of Scottish Artists (SSA). In 1958, he became a founder member of the Glasgow Group and formed the Glasgow Group Society, of which he was Vice-President for 32 years. In 1965, he was elected a member of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour (RSW), a society of which he also became Vice-President and Treasurer. He became Principal Art Teacher at Douglas Academy, near Bearsden, and later at Gryffe High, near Kilbarchan. Bill's abilities not only as a teacher but also as an administrator were noticed by the Department of Education and he was soon appointed Head Examiner in Art for Scotland. He still managed to maintain a very active exhibiting schedule and showed in all the main public galleries and many of Scotland's best commercial galleries. His work was enthusiastically collected and increasingly sought after. He was elected a member of the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Art (RGI) and of the Paisley Art Institute (PAI). In the early years, he painted from his garden, showing the village of Kilbarchan in its changing seasons, under a quiet blanket of winter snow, or framed in a blazing sunset through autumnal trees. Later visits to France and Italy with his artist wife, Cynthia Wall, whom he married in 1953, brought new subject matter, cafe scenes, vine groves, Italian clifftop villages, and the crumbling facades of palaces and churches of Venice. It was characteristic of the man that when told that his illness was terminal, he calmly put his affairs in order and started work for a final one-man show at the Open Eye Gallery (Edinburgh) the scene of so many of his successful shows. Unsurprisingly, the exhibition was a complete sell-out. In recent years there has been a widely acknowledged acceleration in the prices achieved at auctions around the UK for William Birnie's paintings. In the Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 8th November 2020 lot 567 "The Red House" a 60 x 90cm oil sold for £3000 (hammer) which, not for the first time in recent years, set a new auction record for a painting by William Birnie.Condition is good overall.

Born in Kirkintilloch in 1930, Rodger studied Graphics and Printmaking at Glasgow School of Art from 1948 to 1953. He received a rigorous education from a course that, at the time, only accepted the most skilled draughtsmen. By graduation Rodger had already sold two prints to the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and went on to a career in advertising. However, he became disillusioned with the cut and thrust of the commercial world and an opportunity to change careers and return to Scotland came about with a teaching vacancy at Lenzie Academy, then as Principal Teacher of Art at Clydebank High School, a post he held until early retirement in 1987. He was elected to the Royal Scottish Academy in 1989 and awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Stirling in 1999.

CATRIONA MILLAR, THE PATERSONS oil on canvas, signed with monogramframedimage size 46cm x 36cm, overall size 62cm x 53cm Note: Catriona Millar's work takes its inspiration from the stories that lie at the heart of the human condition, and the sparkle of a narrative behind the eyes of her subjects hints at everything from longing to melancholy.

Derek Carruthers (1935-2021) - Art is An Reliefs, 1978-1979, 16, fibreglass resin, paint, Perspex and mixed media, 61 x 61cm (16) Exhibited: Kendal, Abbot Hall Art Gallery and Nottingham, University Gallery 1979. "In the mid seventies I began to feel inhibited by the rigours of formalism and that analogies between art and music were generally flawed. In the canons of constructivist ideology there was no problem in reconciling form and content... . I felt that "content" had got left behind in the accelerated turbulence of the first half of 20th century. ...Post contemporary art offered a freedom both frightening and exhilarating. Having spent 20 years making none figurative art it came as a relief to introduce words and images into my work in an attempt to find a better basis for communication. I set myself the task of producing a series of reliefs, which would show some of the different ways of defining art as I saw it. They would have in common the inclusion of a phrase "ART IS AN" which had to be followed by a word starting with a vowel to give a definition. At the same time the word "artisan" is about the making process. They had the same dimensions and casting in fibreglass resin in common, but could include words, symbols and images as seemed appropriate."
