* FRANK MCKELVEY RHA RUA (1895 - 1974), HORN HEAD FROM PORT-NA-BLAGH (PORTNABLAGH) oil on canvas, signed 41cm x 51cm Framed and under glass. Label verso: John Macee Limited; inscribed with title and ref no 204-6. Note: Frank McKelvey was a landscape and portrait painter born in Belfast. Before entering the Belfast School of Art he was a poster designer with David Allen & Sons. McKelvey won the Sir Charles Brett prize (1912) and the Fitzpatrick prize for figure drawing in 1914 and in 1917; he won a bronze medal in the Taylor Art competition.In the early stages of his career, Frank was commissioned by Thomas McGowan to produce pictures of Old Belfast. Once he had completed the task, the pictures were later shown in 1930 in the Ulster Museum. This gained Frank huge recognition and from 1918 to 1973, he showed pictures in the Royal Hibernian Academy without missing a year. In 1930 he became a full member of the RHA and was one of the first Academicians of the Royal Ulster Academy. In 1936, Dutch citizens in Ireland as a gift for Princess Juliana purchased several of his landscapes. S.B Kennedy wrote a book called, ‘Frank McKelvey, RHA RUA, 1993’ and in it he wrote, ‘ In essence he was a Romantic; yet in the inter-war years in particular, with his contemporaries amongst the landscapists, he helped to forge a new and distinct way of representing the Irish scene which is the nearest approximation we have to a distinct Irish school of painting….He had a sharp eye and could, with apparent ease, penetrate the essentials of his subject and set it down with a matching exactitude.’

ALEXANDER FRASER, THE YOUNGER RSA (SCOTTISH 1827-1899), ON THE FALLOCH NEAR INVERARNAN , LOOKING NORTH oil on canvas, signed, inscribed verso, dated Sept 1860 30cm x 45cm Framed. Note: Inverarnan is located by the river Falloch at the south end of Glen Falloch, near the head of Loch Lomond. The village largely developed servicing the growing needs of steamboat activity and business in the 19th century. Today it is a popular place to stop while visiting the local beauty spots, such as the Falls of Falloch or walking The West Highland Way. There are also a number of heritage sites near the village including a double stone circle and an ancient boundary stone, Clach nam Breatann or ‘Stone of the Britons’. This stone marked the junction between the three ancient kingdoms: Pictland, to the east, Strathclyde, to the south and Dal Riata, to the north west. Fraser’s childhood interest in painting was nurtured by his father Alexander George Fraser, an able amateur artist, who gave him elementary tuition. He enrolled at the Trustees’ Academy in Edinburgh, supplementing his studies by attendance at the life school of the Royal Scottish Academy (RSA). By the early 1850s he had abandoned Scottish genre and devoted himself exclusively to landscape. Fraser was among the first Scottish painters to work en plein air direct from nature. He was a good friend of Samuel Bough and Horatio McCulloch. After a time spent working in England, he returned to Edinburgh where he enjoyed most recognition as annual exhibitor at the RSA from 1847, and was a frequent exhibitor at the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts from 1861 until his death in 1899. Sixty-five of Fraser's paintings are held in UK public collections including: Glasgow Museums, The National Galleries of Scotland, The Hunterian, Dundee Museums, Paisley Art Institute, Sheffield Museums, Kirkcaldy Museums, The RSA, Hospitalfield, Rozelle House, Perth & Kinross and The City Art Centre (Edinburgh).

COLIN COLAHAN (AUSTRALIAN 1897 - 1987) THE EMERALD NECKLACE oil on canvas, signed 76cm x 63cm Framed. Label verso: E-Stacy Marks Ltd, 120-122 Terminus Road, Eastbourne, Sussex. Note: Colin Cuthbert Orr Colahan was an Australian painter and sculptor of Irish descent. Between 1921-27 he lived and traveled in England, France and Spain , studied the classical masters and developed his technique, showing his work in London and Paris. He returned to Melbourne, where his reputation grew and his work matured. His subjects included landscapes, streetscapes, portraits and nude studies. In 1935 Colahan suddenly departed again for England, where he built a reputation as a portrait painter. His more notable subjects included George Bernard Shaw. Colahan was appointed an Australian official war artist in 1942 and became the first president of the Australian Artists’ Association, London, in 1952. Moving to Italy in 1958, Colahan continued to paint portraits and landscapes, and in the late 1960s he turned to sculpture, producing over thirty works, including the `Sirena’ fountain for the Italian town of Bordighera, and a head of Victor Smorgon, bought by the National Gallery of Victoria. A portrait in oil of F. Matthias Alexander (of “Alexander technique” fame), painted by Colahan to commemorate the subject’s 80th birthday, was shown on the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow program in May 2013. His work can be found in the collections of the State galleries of Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane.

JAMES HUMBERT CRAIG RHA RUA (1877 - 1944), COASTAL SCENE oil on panel, signed 38cm x 50cm Framed and under glass. Label verso: William Mol, 54 Upper Queen Street, Belfast. Provenance: Private Scottish collection. Note: Born in Belfast, Craig spent his early years in Ballyholme, Co. Down, where he was privately educated. Craig derived little satisfaction from working in the family tea business but it enabled him to travel and paint, particularly in Switzerland and the south of France. In time, he turned a more serious eye to art as a profession, specifically to landscape painting. Apart from attending the Belfast College of Art for less than a term, Craig was self-taught. He was influenced in his early work by Paul Henry but as his career developed this became less apparent. He first exhibited at the RHA in 1915 at the relatively late age of thirty-seven when he showed a pair of coastal scenes near his home at Ballywater, and he continued exhibiting there regularly. In 1928 he was elected to the RHA. A member of the Belfast Art Society from 1920, he was one of the first RUAs when the society was formed in 1930. He exhibited regularly with the Fine Art Society, London, over 200 works. Throughout the interwar period he continued to exhibit in Belfast and Dublin and also in London. His work was included in the prestigious Exhibition of Irish Art in Brussels in 1930 and in the Olympic Art Exhibition in Los Angeles in 1932. Though he went on sketching tours of Connemara and Donegal Craig found so much stimulus in the scenery of the Glens of Antrim that he acquired a cottage at Cushendun and his work became closely identified with the Middle Glens thereafter. Craig had a significant following among younger artists and although he and his followers ignored European Modernism, they were perfectly in tune with the romantic attitudes prevalent in Ireland during the period. Craig, together with Paul Henry, Frank McKelvey, Charles Lamb and Maurice MacGonigal, comes closest to personifying a distinctive Irish School of Painting.

* JOHN NICHOLSON (SCOTTISH 1921 - 2004), THE EMPRESS OF BRITAIN OFFSHORE watercolour on paper, signed 26cm x 36cm Mounted, framed and under glass. Note: John Nicholson was only five when his love affair with ships began. John was fascinated by the workings of a paddle steamer on a day trip to the Isle of Man in 1925 and he was still enjoying sailing on the paddle steamer PS Waverley 78 years later. Drawing was also an interest from a very young age and family holidays on the Clyde in the 1930s provided the subject matter for many of his early paintings. John served in WWII and spent four years as a POW. In the early 1950s he began receiving commissions. Pen and ink drawings appeared in several shipping magazines and from 1984 until 1987, John was commissioned to paint all new vessels to the Cal/Mac fleet. His attention to detail in all his pictures often led to extended correspondence with those wanting a painting of a ship in a particular livery or location. His regular trips to the Isle of Man resulted in a commission from Captain Jack Ronan to paint three Steam Packet ships for him. In 1993 he was commissioned to do a set of paintings of The Isle of Man Steam Packet ships for postage stamps issued by the Isle of Man Post Office. John was a renowned marine artist and his works will remain as a permanent memorial to his abiding interest in all things to do with the sea and, for more than 25 years, he provided the PS Waverley with artwork for their postcards, posters, timetables and advertisements - and all completely free of charge. Early in 1990, the publishers Hart, Maclagan & Will were printing their first book in The Memories of the Clyde series, The Duchess of Fife. They were searching for a suitable front-cover illustration and contact was made with John Nicholson. In 1992 the second title, Steamers of the Clyde, featured all 24 illustrations painted by John Nicholson. In 1994, Liners of the Clyde was published. This book contained illustrations of 24 liners all painted by John with his own authoritative descriptions. He followed this with another work on the steamers of the Clyde and Western Isles with the words provided by himself, Robin Boyd and Iain Quinn.

* GEORGE DENHOLM ARMOUR OBE (SCOTTISH 1864 - 1949), "ENGLISH TOURIST TO OLD SCOT" pen on paper, signed 26cm x 21cm Mounted, framed and under glass. Inscribed: However do you keep warm wading like that in this weather? Whisky, nothing but whisky. I just ____ ____ a bottle a day. Man it's good for the digestion. My wife says when I ____ my head in the water in the morning, she can hear it sizzle. Note: Although always a fine draughtsman, it was after he met Crawhall that Armour developed the subtle but strong drawing style seen in his work for Punch and many other publications. He was first illustrated in The Graphic in 1890, while sharing the studio with Phil May and from 1894 concentrated largely on his cartoon work. Introduced to the magazine by May, he contributed to Punch for 35 years, although never entirely abandoning his hunting and shooting watercolours and washes. Caw states that 'in comparison to the works of other exponents of the pictured ‘sporting joke’, in ‘draughtsmanship and design they are incomparably finer.’
