In recent years James has spent time in the West Indies and in Brazil but he never tires of painting the landscape and coastline around his Ayrshire home and elsewhere in Scotland. He is known mainly as a landscape artist but his landscapes are almost invariably informed by a human presence and day to day activities, a sense of life being lived. This may be actual figures or it may be a suggestion of human life through buildings, gardens, boats.... He is an expressive painter working mainly in oils, using the rich, luscious quality of the paint to great effect but he is also a gifted watercolourist. He exhibits widely and has work in many collections including those of the House of Lords, Glasgow University, P & O Cruises, Wigtownshire Education Trust and the Maclaurin Gallery. He is a past winner of the prestigious Laing Landscape Competition and the Scotsman Art Competition.

* WILLIAM BIRNIE RSW RGI (SCOTTISH 1929 - 2006), GRAND CASCADE, PARIS oil on board, signed, titled label versoframed and under glassLabel verso: Roger Billcliffe Gallery, Glasgow.image size 36cm x 18cm, overall size 48cm x 30cmNote: 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 with no visible or known issues.

* ERNI UPTON FRSA (SCOTTISH b. 1936), PUFFER AT GAMES MUSTER oil on canvas, signed, titled and dated 2014 versoframedimage size 77cm x 77cm, overall size 102cm x 102cm Note: A Scot, born in Ayrshire in 1936, Erni Upton has been painting since childhood. Schooled at Ayr Grammar & Ayr Academy, much of his youth was spent with the fisherfolk of West Scotland and their boats and he still cruises these waters each year. He trained at Glasgow School of Art, where he studied under Donaldson, Mathieson and Robertson. His work reflects their influences and those of the Scottish colourists who like him, spent much time in the wonderful light and colours of the West Coast. Painting in this tradition, he works with oils on canvas, using both brush and knife. In 1985, after many years in banking, he returned to Art & Design when he established an interior design company in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. He continued to work in oils, mainly commissions for corporate and private clients, but it was not until 1999, when the company was sold, that more time became available for painting. His work is successfully shown in many galleries in England, Scotland and abroad, most recently in Istanbul, where he was invited, as a result of commission work, to have a solo exhibition at the British Embassy, and a subsequent solo at one of the premier galleries in the city. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society for Arts, London, in November 2004. In recent years exhibition venues have included: Rowles Fine Arts, Strathearn Gallery, Greens & Blues Gallery, Morningside Gallery, Annan Gallery, Iona House Gallery, Alpha Gallery, Queens Gallery, Gigha Gallery and Frames Gallery. In The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 9th May 2021, two Iona paintings by Erni Upton (lots 787 & 789) sold for prices of £2000 & £2800 (hammer) and in the 2nd March 2023 Scottish Contemporary Art Auction lot 119 TRAIGH NA CRICHE by Erni Upton sold for £2400 (hammer).

* DAVID HOCKNEY OM CH RA (BRITISH b. 1937), ROCKY MOUNTAINS & TIRED INDIANS 1965 lithograph on paper for the Pop Art Exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, September 13-December 15framed and under glass image size 59cm x 79cm, overall size 67cm x 87cm Note: The painting from this poster was painted at the University of Colorado, Boulder in 1965, where the university campus is on the edge of the Rocky Mountains. However Hockney's studio had no windows, so he painted this imaginary picture instead. It is inspired entirely by pictures in magazines and romantic ideas of the 'Wild West'. The nearest 'Indians' are in fact at least three hundred miles from Boulder. The chair was included for compositional purposes, and to explain its being there Hockney called the Indians 'tired'. The striped mountains in the background were a light-hearted response to contemporary striped, abstract paintings by American artists.

* NEIL MACDONALD RSW RGI PAI, PROCESSION oil on canvas, initialled, titled label versoframed and under glassimage size 111cm x 76cm, overall size 125cm x 89cm Handwritten artist's label verso.Note: Neil Macdonald has been the recipient of many awards including 2013 Elected RSW (Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour); 2013 Joe Hargan Award, Maclaurin Fine Art Exhibition, Ayr; 2013 Elected RGI (Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts); 2012 The Smithy Gallery Award (PAI); 2012 Diploma of the Paisley Art Institute; 2011 Robert Innes Award - Scottish Drawing Competition; 2009 Discerning Eye, London- Scottish Regional Winner; 2009 Charles Jamieson Award PAI; 2008 University West Scotland Award PAI; 2006 EDC Ann Stevenson Memorial Award; 2005 EDC Purchase Prize; 1997 Contemporary Art Prize (Eton) Paisley Art Institute; 1981 David Cargill Travelling Scholarship (Italy and Belgium); and 1979 William Shanks Painting Prize. Neil MacDonald trained at Glasgow School of Art from 1975 until 1980, where he developed his considerable skills as a painter and consummate draughtsman. He is drawn to locations that exert historic and mythic presence, exploring the lyrical narrative of natural sites and strong bold shapes of castles, old townships and harbours. He does this through distortion of perspective, invention and editing, aiming to capture an essence of the structure or place. Colour is used in an emotive way to heighten the sense of mood, applying each layer upon layer of paint in a divisionist manner until a unity of statement is realised as the image emerges, revealing the subject’s unique sense of place.Condition is good overall with no visible or known issues. Initials are on the bottom right edge of the canvas. Additional images have been uploaded to our website to show this.

* DUNCAN MACGREGOR (BRITISH b. 1961), YACHTS ON A STILL SEA acrylic on board, signedframedimage size 60cm x 60cm, overall size 78cm x 78cm Note: Duncan MacGregor's inspiration has always come from the sea. He and his wife have sailed the Atlantic together in a little 34-foot yacht and have experienced the frustration of endless windless days - and the extremes of 65mph winds and huge seas. They now sail with their young son (and dog!), mainly on the west coast of Scotland and the Norfolk Broads where Duncan MacGregor was brought up. Duncan MacGregor's work is prolifically exhibited at many of the UK's most prestigious contemporary galleries including DeMontfort Fine Art (The Whitewall Galleries network) and his paintings are held in collections around the world.

* RYAN MUTTER (SCOTTISH b. 1978), PEOPLE WITH TOWER BRIDGE oil on board, signedframedimage size 46cm x 59cm, overall size 70cm x 85cmNote: Born in 1978, Ryan Mutter studied at The Glasgow School of Art, where he graduated in 2001. He has since won many distinguished awards, including a remarkable six from the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts. His inspiration comes from Britain's industrial heritage and its connection between man and the sea. In Glasgow alone, shipbuilding provided work for 70,000 men in more than 50 yards spread along 11 miles of quayside. But today these yards sit empty, a silent shadow of their former self. The advancements made in technology and design methods superseded the old, and made once important skills and craftsmanship redundant. This is what drives Ryan as he looks to capture and remind people of how important this workforce was in the development of the modern world. Ryan has built up a formidable reputation as a powerful contemporary painter of Industrial and Maritime subjects. His bold realism combined with expressionistic brushwork transports you into a world of arresting detail and mechanised splendour. Perhaps unsurprisingly, very few of Ryan Mutter's paintings appear at auction (anywhere) and his larger work is even rarer. However, in The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 28th March 2021, lot 517 "Cutty Sark in Moonlight" a relatively small 38 x 46cm oil on canvas (by Ryan Mutter) sold for £3000 (hammer)Condition is good overall

DOROTHY NAPANGARDI (1956-2013) 'Salt on Mina Mina' acrylic on linen, 202cm x 203cm (unframed on stretcher)To be sold with a Certificate of Authenticity from Independent Auctioneers, Rozelle, Sydney, NSW, Australia, dated 27/09/2007 and a collection of photographs of the Artist creating this work. Dorothy Napangardi was a preeminent painter of the Indigenous Australian art movement, renowned for her dotted canvases that reflect her spiritual connection to the land. While they appear to chart abstract landscapes, her paintings reference the journeys of her Warlpiri ancestors through the sacred bush of Mina Mina. Napangardi began tracing this topography in 1997, when she returned to her homeland for the first time. She had been painting for about a decade by then, previously focusing on brightly coloured paintings of native plants. Featuring geometric repetitions and an often monochromatic palette, her Mina Mina paintings have received widespread acclaim at major exhibitions including a 2002–2003 survey at Museum of Contemporary Art Australia and the 2012 Biennale of Sydney. Merging physical observation, creation stories, and designs associated with Jukurrpa (“Dreamtime“), Napangardi’s paintings are a transference of knowledge between those who came before and after her.
