* PAT DOUTHWAITE (SCOTTISH 1939 - 2002), DOG LAYING DOWN charcoal and pastel on paper, signed and dated '89mounted, framed and under glass image size 54cm x 41cm, overall size 85cm x 67cm Provenance: Purchased directly from the artist; The Corrymella Scott Gallery.Note: "She should no longer be seen as an exotic maverick but acknowledged as one of the true originals of Scottish art." A concluding comment on Pat Douthwaite’s 1993 solo exhibition, made by The Scotsman’s art critic Edward Gage. The ‘maverick’ label is often attached to Douthwaite to encompass a variety of the artist’s more striking traits: her troubled personality, the restless, nomadic lifestyle that took her across the world in search of subjects and meaning and her complete disregard for anything that did not further the development of her artwork, despite it making her a difficult figure to manage and work with. A good example is an incident in which she broke into a house and stole back one of her paintings from a buyer whom she did not consider worthy of owning her work. This demanding, uncompromising commitment and all-encompassing focus on her work paid off. She developed and sustained a distinctive, signature style characterised by raw feeling and idiosyncratic lines. Douthwaite was fascinated by historical heroines including Greek deities, Mary Queen of Scots and the aviator Amy Johnson and often depicted them as well as herself. Her images of women remain the most powerful and popular of her works, truly encapsulating the pain and suffering women can experience and endure. This exploration of suffering means there is a violence in the work, yet Douthwaite often manages to retain fun, playful touches in their execution. Born in Glasgow in 1934, Douthwaite’s first exposure to creative expression was in the form of dance classes at the dancing school run by Margaret Morris, the bohemian partner of the Scottish Colourist John Duncan Fergusson. She eventually discontinued dancing and decided, aged twenty-four and with no artistic training, to become a painter. Douthwaite showed her work to Fergusson, who recognised her talent and encouraged her endeavours, though he suggested she avoid art school, as he had done. Thus, both Morris and Fergusson had a major impact on Douthwaite’s creative endeavours. Douthwaite’s ever-present wanderlust quickly took over and she left Glasgow to join an artistic community within William Crozier’s house in East Anglia. An informal artistic training in itself, she was surrounded by fellow artists including Robert Colquhoun, Robert MacBryde and Crozier himself. In her lifetime, her work was recognised and championed by key figures in the Scottish art world; including Richard Demarco, who mounted her first major exhibition in Scotland in 1967; Douglas Hall, the former Director of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and the artist and critic Edward Gage. Following her death, her popularity continues to increase as ever more collectors are drawn to her distinctive, expressive style and tales of her mysterious, maverick personality. The prestigious Scottish Gallery (Edinburgh) have long promoted Pat Douthwaite's work and her most recent solo show "Pat Douthwaite, On The Edge" was staged by the gallery between 4th and 27th February 2021.Condition is good overall, with no visible or known issues.

* JOHN HALLIDAY (SCOTTISH 1933 - 2021), OLIVE GROVES, LUCERA oil on canvas, signed, titled and dated 1965 versoframed image size 51cm x 61cm, overall size 68cm x 78cm Provenance: The artist's studio sale, 2021.Note: Born in Kirkcudbright's Atkinson Place in 1933, John Halliday lived for nearly ninety years just two doors along from the house in which he was born. In the intervening decades, his restless life had been one of exploration: creatively, culturally, geographically and personally. Born into a family background where a career in art was not a likely or realistic prospect, Halliday found himself leaving Kirkcudbright Academy at the age of sixteen to take up work as a trainee on the local Galloway News. And there the story might well have ended. But a benign fate, never far away in the Halliday life story, began to take a hand in events. In 1948, Cecile Walton, daughter of the celebrated E.A. Walton, had decided to settle permanently in Kirkcudbright. Although in straitened financial circumstances, she was a woman of some style and flair which extended beyond her art and into her lifestyle. Introduced to Halliday at an Arts Council touring exhibition in St Cuthbert's Hall, Cecile took an interest in the talented teenager. Along with Jean Menzies, John's art teacher at school, Walton worked hard to have him accepted at the Glasgow School of Art despite his lack of formal educational qualifications. But Walton's influence did not end with Halliday's entrance to art school in 1949. Life in Cecile's Millburn studio was a far cry from the more humdrum life-style of Atkinson Place. Despite a lack of money, Cecile did not lack glamour in young John's eyes: "It was a magical place, with its old pot-bellied stove. I remember the furniture, particularly a big bureau, and the chairs were William Morris. She seemed to entertain everybody there, great Sunday lunches in particular, with all kinds of interesting guests from all the arts. And she managed to bring it all off in a single-end in the Millburn." (Tales of the Kirkcudbright Artists: Gordon, 2006). This passion for style and sparkling company left its mark on the young man. His life has been marked by enrichment through association with beautiful objects and with people who have made their mark on the world of the arts and society in general. 1949 was a good year to be arriving at the Glasgow School of Art. Teaching giants such as William and Mary Armour, Geoff Squire and John Miller greatly impressed the young but impecunious Halliday. His digs in a theatrical boarding house adjacent to the School of Art meant he spent more time than most students in the School, drawing every ounce of input from the learning experience before eventually finding himself a tiny studio in the city centre. In his final year at art school, he won two Royal Scottish Academy Awards: the Chalmers Bursary and the award for outstanding Diploma show. Output from this period featured in an exhibition, largely organised by Cecile Walton, in a Castle Douglas gallery shortly after graduation. Here again, fate took a hand. The largest canvas in the exhibition was bought by Douglas Lorimer, managing director of North British Locomotives, who financed Halliday for a year to 'see the world', as he put it. Lorimer's help, together with money from his awards saw John setting out with his friend and experienced traveller, Gerald Ashton, for his first trip abroad - to Sicily. It was a seminal experience, the beginning of a life-long love of this location to which he has returned countless times. An introduction to Glasgow architect Jack Notman led, over the years, to a series of over 70 mural commissions. Ten of these were for panels of famous Scots at Prestwick Airport, others for the Clydesdale Bank, the Bank of Scotland, the Marquis of Bute, Hope Scott, the National Trust for Scotland, Scottish and Newcastle Breweries, Glenfarclas whisky, to name only a few. In many of them his love of architecture, symmetry and the baroque technique of trompe l'oeil was fully explored. It is, however, to Whistler, friend of his own patron, Cecile Walton, that his own work is most often compared, a comparison with which Halliday was not unhappy. " It is his half-tones and quarter tones which I really love and these play an important part in my work also. The light in the early morning or evening can only be realised through them. People talk a lot about my preoccupation with light but it is to those tones that I am really referring," he remarks. New York-based Clare Henry, doyenne of international art critics, is among those happy to make the comparison: "Landscape is Halliday's real love, be it a damp day by the Tweed or noon in Sicily...while studies of ancient facades in Venice are positively Whistlerian." (The Herald, 25th November 1998). Richard Jacques in The Scotsman has seen similar parallels: "Specially rewarding are those Whistlerian images of Kirkcudbright and Galloway in which the elements of landscape are seen in a penumbral create an almost magical effect." (The Scotsman, 18th November 1991). Some might also see a parallel closer to home. In his love of penumbral light and muted tones and outlines, Halliday at times forays into the concerns, if not the palette, of another Kirkcudbright artist, Macaulay Stevenson. John Halliday remained however, very much his own man with a vision of Galloway to which he had been drawn irresistibly throughout a long career. Travels throughout Europe, homes across Scotland have resulted in glorious oils, gouache and crayon images from all parts: from Calabria to Coldstream, from the baking sun of Sicily to wintry scenes in Edinburgh.

CATRIONA MILLAR, LUCETTE oil on canvas, initialledunframedoverall size 41cm x 31cmNote: 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. Her work often juxtaposes human characters with a variety of animal confidants, with some seeming physically present in the composition while others take on a talismanic quality. Born in Glasgow, Catriona Millar studied at Harrogate School of Art and Grays School of Art, Aberdeen. Since the success of her sell-out 2005 degree show she has exhibited across the UK including the Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh. In October 2006 she came to the attention of Charles Saatchi with her first solo exhibition at the Dundas Street Gallery, Edinburgh. Catriona Millar now lives and paints in the southeast of England.

* PAM CARTER DA PAI (SCOTTISH 1952 - 2022), BIG SKY oil on canvas, signedframedimage size 29cm x 29cm, overall size 47cm x 47cmNote: Pam Carter was born in Tanganyika, East Africa to an Austrian mother and Scottish father. At the age of thirteen, she came to Scotland where she schooled at Bearsden Academy. She graduated from Glasgow School of Art in the seventies. "My main inspiration as an artist is in the Scottish landscape and seascape. I enjoy using colour to define contours, structure and changing light sequences. I search out specific viewpoints. I am equally inspired by the rugged isolation of the Western Isles and the dramatic viewpoints of the Eastern coastline. I work predominantly in oil". Pam Carter was unquestionably one of Scotland's most popular and successful contemporary artists. She won numerous awards and prizes, always received significant media attention, has been the subject of many magazine features and had several tv appearances. Her work is widely exhibited but rarely appears at auction. However, in The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 17th April 2022 lot 38 "Luskentyre Reflections" a 46 x 51cm oil by Pam Carter sold for £2000 (hammer) and in The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 10th July 2022 lot 230 "Gables Geary" sold for £2600 (hammer).Comment: Pam was a special artist and one who enjoyed wide popularity and substantial commercial success. In all our dealings with Pam over the years, she was always generous with her time and quick to provide the background to paintings we had received from private consignors and filling in gaps about locations, dates etc. Pam's work is instantly recognisable and she had that rare gift, even among the best artists, of being able to use the minimum of brushwork to create the maximum visual effect. Her "lines" were those of the natural environment but she knew exactly how to "see" them and portray them on canvas. Despite her commercial success, or perhaps even because of it, Pam's work probably hasn't yet reached the full audience that it so richly deserves. She exhibited frequently at numerous galleries in Scotland and gallery owners were inevitably in a queue to secure her work. Typically, Pam showed loyalty to those who were the first to support her when she was a relative unknown. Talented artists always wish to be remembered by their work and Pam Carter can be certain of that, but she'll also be remembered with great affection by all those who had the good fortune to meet her or know her.

* PETER HOWSON OBE (SCOTTISH b. 1958), PSYCHE 2001 oil on canvas, signedunframed, as intendedoverall size 200cm x 275cmProvenance: Depicted on page 171, "Peter Howson" by Robert Heller, first published 2003 by Momentum, London.Note 1: Believed to be the largest work by Howson to be offered at auction. Ex Flowers Gallery, London. Further authenticated by the Peter Howson Studio.Note 2. Aardvark Art Services Ltd will collect this picture from us and deliver to all but the most remote UK mainland addresses for a charge of £100 + vat, although assistance with unloading may be required. Note 3: "Psyche" is an important and monumental example of Peter Howson's work from the early 2000s. Executed on a large scale, he has applied the paint with impressively bold and direct brushwork - this handling helps to charge the work with a sense of vigorous movement and energy. Howson's tutor at the Glasgow School of Art, Sandy Moffat, described the qualities of his student's work ... his touch remains powerful and dramatic; as in his low-life scenes of prostitutes, thieves and dance hall fights...''It is exactly his ability to capture the menacing tone, to penetrate the darker heart of urban humanity, which raises Howson's painting from the ordinary passionless naturalism of academic realists to an entirely different level of creative achievement.'(S. Moffat, New Image Glasgow, exhibition catalogue, Third Eye Centre, Glasgow, 1985). In 2023, Howson was the subject of a major retrospective at the Edinburgh City Art Centre titled When the Apple Ripens: Peter Howson at 65. Howson's work can be found in collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Tate Gallery, London; the British Museum, London; the Victoria & Albert Museum, London; the Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow; and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh. His paintings are held in numerous corporate and prestigious private collections around the world.

It would not be unreasonable to say that painting is in W.H. Heytman’s blood being a descendant of the “Dutch Frenchman” J.B. Jongkind (1819-1891). He had is first exhibition in 1976 in Middelburg, Zeeland, the Dutch province that has remained his home. Apart from the lessons he took from the Dutch painter J.W. Heijting, Heytman is very much a self-taught artist, innovating and improving continuously on style, use of colour and composition, and boldly tackling any subject matter. Having painted for over 30 years, Heytman has irrefutably carved a niche for himself in the world of contemporary Dutch painting.Condition of the picture is good overall, with no visible or known issues.

CATRIONA MILLAR, MARY oil on canvas, initialledunframedoverall size 41cm x 31cmNote: 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.

Since the success of her sell-out 2005 degree show she has exhibited across the UK including the Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh.

* BET LOW RSW ARSA RGI DLitt (SCOTTISH 1924 - 2007), BEACH HEAD watercolour on paper, signed, titled versomounted, framed and under glass image size 48cm x 61cm, overall size 71cm x 82cm Label verso: T. & R. Annan & Son, Ltd, GlasgowNote: Bet Low was a Scottish landscape and figurative painter whose career spanned the majority of the twentieth century. Her mystical and beguiling landscapes offer great insight into the career of this prolific artist. Born into impoverished conditions in Gourock, Low studied at the Glasgow School of Art during the Second World War before going on to study briefly under James Cowie at Hospitalfield House. Low had a great love of Scottish landscapes and they are a typical theme in her oeuvre - notably of Orkney where she spent numerous summers with her family in Hoy. By the 1960s her works moved further into abstraction, and she is best known for her works in this style. After her studies, Low co-founded the Clyde Group with J.D. Fergusson in 1942. With this group, Low co-organised Glasgow's first open air exhibition in 1956 at the Botanical Gardens. In 1963, she went on to open the New Charing Cross Gallery in Glasgow with John Taylor and Cyril Gerber, which received great critical acclaim for encouraging contemporary art in Scotland. Throughout her career she exhibited widely - including a retrospective of her work in 1985 at the Third Eye Centre (now the Centre for Contemporary Arts), and her work is held in numerous public and private collections.
