Sunsparkle on Porthminster mixed media on canvas 80 x 100cm Footnote: Before studying art at Homerton College with Kay Melzi (a pupil of Michael Rothenstein) Elaine studied the harp with David Watkins at the Royal Opera House, and in Paris with Solange Renié-Siguret before receiving a scholarship to go to the Royal Academy of Music. Elaine and her partner Christopher Marvell share their time between their house and studio in St Ives in Cornwall and Cambridge. "To make a painting look simple and spontaneous is difficult. The more I paint the less I need on the canvas. Colours excite me and inspiration comes from the things I love - every objects, souvenirs from travels, patterns, and walking the romantic, wild countryside around our home".

‘LADY PLAYING THE SAUNG’ BY U LUN GYWE (BORN 1930)Oil on canvas. An early work by perhaps the greatest living Burmese painter. Finely painted with a young lady richly adorned in beaded jewelry and wearing fine colorful garments, kneeling on the ground, and playing the saung (Burmese harp) with a cheerful yet focused expression. Framed.Provenance: Collection of Ludvík Doležal, acquired in Burma during his stay there as an attache between 1970 and 1973, and thence by descent in the same family.Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear.Dimensions: Size incl. frame ca. 62 x 53 cm, Image size 46.5 x 38.5 cmLun Gywe (born 1930) is a Burmese painter who works in oil and watercolor. Outside of Myanmar his work has been exhibited, often in solo shows, in Japan, Korea, China, Australia, the USA and Singapore. He studied under Thet Win and graduated from the Art Institute of Teacher's Training in 1954. He was an instructor at the School of Fine Arts, Yangon, between 1958 and 1979, and principal of the same school from 1977 to 1979. He began painting in a realistic vein, influenced by the major painters of the Rangoon School, Ba Nyan and Thein Han, who was his painting master. Over time, his work became more expressive and today some of it might even be seen as expressionist.Auction result comparison: Compare with a later work by the same artist, depicting a dancing lady, dated 1999, at Sotheby’s Hong Kong in Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Art on 6 October 2019, lot 316, sold for HKD 85,000."A noted collector of the work of U LUN GYWE has advised us that the present painting could also be from the hand of U CHIT SWE, who is about 10 years younger than U LUN GYWE. It is therefore sold as the work of either one of these two artists."

Frederick Rowland Emett (British, 1906-1990): A 1-inch scale model of Emett's masterpiece automaton 'A Quiet Afternoon in the Cloud Cuckoo Valley',English, early 1980's,constructed using paper, card, wire, glue, recycled pencils, plastic beads, cotton wool, wood, and fabric flowers affixed to a shaped wooden base, the model depicting elements from Emett's automaton 'A Quiet Afternoon in the Cloud Cuckoo Valley' which was completed in 1984, the base titled and inscribed in Emett's hand Sketch model. Scale about 1' to 1'. The model depicts the tale of a pleasure trip on the 'Far Tottering and Oyster Creek Railway'; the centre of the creation featuring a train called 'Wild Goose', driven by an ingenious driver who toasts tea-cakes on the fire-box as the train trundles along a raised railway line. At 'Cowparsley Meadow' a farmer plays his harp soothingly to his herd of cows, who nod their heads in appreciation. There is a large water wheel that turns timelessly at 'Far Tottering', its brass cups beaten and misshapen from years of use. In a secluded dell at 'Wisteria Halt', there is a beautiful flowering tree on top of which sits a clock – originally intended as the focal point of the whole piece. At 'Shrimphaven Sands', a fisherman can be seen out at sea, hauling in a net in which, rather surprisingly, he appears to have caught a mermaid. As 'Wild Goose' continues its journey past 'Twittering Woods, an ornithologist is seen cycling along with his camera – he is disguised as a tree. On the beach at 'Oyster Creek', a bathing hut is occupied by an elderly gentleman dressed in full length Victorian swimwear, who dives dramatically into the water from time to time. The model is housed in a Perspex case;overall 29.5in long x 15in wide x 20in high (75cm x 38cm x 51cm); model 24in x 11in (61cm x 28cm)Footnotes:Frederick Rowland Emett OBE (British, B.1906 – D.1990) was a celebrated cartoonist, inventor, designer, engineer and constructor of whimsical kinetic sculpture (automata). Born in London, son of a businessman and amateur inventor, and the grandson of Queen Victoria's engraver, Emett studied art and quickly became one of the most popular cartoonists at Punch Magazine, eventually becoming Cartoon Editor.Many of Emett's cartoons featured outlandish trains and railway scenes of strange bumbling trains with excessively tall chimneys and silly names. These did not go unnoticed and in 1950 the organisers of the 1951 'Festival of Britain' approached him to create a real-life version of his cartoon 'Far Twittering and Oyster Perch Railway' (later renamed 'The Far Tottering and Oyster Creek Railway'). It soon became one of the main attractions at the Festival, carrying over 2 million people around the Festival park and made his reputation as a maker of mechanical 'Things'. This led to numerous commissions by commercial organisations and local authorities, and the ensuing years saw Emett creating many other machines and artworks that have continued to fascinate onlookers for decades. His larger works, such as Emettland, went on extended tours, ending up in prestigious venues such as the Smithsonian Institution. However, his most recognisable pieces (in many people's eyes) are the crazy inventions or 'thingamabobs' of 'Caractacus Potts' (played by Dick Van Dyke) in the 1968 all-time classic movie 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'. Originally commissioned as a landmark clock, 'A Quiet Afternoon in the Cloud Cuckoo Valley' was destined to adorn a new shopping area in Basildon, England. But by the time the artwork was completed in 1984, those plans had changed. Instead, it was exhibited at several sites in the UK, before being stolen and then later saved from a scrapyard and returned to its original owner. Bonhams subsequently sold 'A Quiet Afternoon in the Cloud Cuckoo Valley' for a six-figure sum to the National Railway Museum in 2019, for more information see: www.bonhams.com/auctions/25705/lot/1'A Quiet Afternoon in the Cloud Cuckoo Valley' is a perfect example of Emett's whimsical imagination, and is in his own words 'the best and biggest of all his mechanical things'.Provenance:Gifted to the vendor's father who worked with Emett.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
