gouache on paper, signed, titled label verso mounted, framed and under glass image size 54cm x 48cm, overall size 78cm x 71cm Note: Ethel Walker was born in Ayrshire, Scotland, in 1941. She graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 1964 where she had been taught by David Donaldson, once the Queen's portrait painter. Beginning her career as a teacher, by the age of twenty-seven she was a full-time artist. Walker is one of the most successful female painters working in Scotland today. Her talent in capturing the ever-changing light of the Scottish landscape is outstanding, and her subtle but strong still life paintings are highly-prized. Work is held in many public and corporate collections worldwide, including the Royal Bank of Scotland and Sara Lee Holdings. In The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 12th September 2021 "The Silver Table" (lot 562), a mixed media by Ethel Walker sold for £2600 (hammer) and in our December 2021 auction "The Lace Cloth" achieved £3000 (hammer).
mixed media monoprint on paper, signed, titled, numbered 1/1 and dated '92 mounted, framed and under glass image size 61cm x 46cm, overall size 89cm x 72cm Condition is good overall, with no visible or known issues. Note: John Byrne studied at both Edinburgh and Glasgow Schools of Art in the late 50s and early 60s. A superb painter and draughtsman, the multi-talented Byrne was also a first-class playwright (‘The Slab Boys’, ‘Tutti Frutti’), his ear for dialogue was as acute (and witty) as his eye for detail. Much of his subject matter in both disciplines is overtly autobiographical, he often included or refers to the Teddy Boy/Rock and Roll era of his youth. Byrne designed record covers for Donovan, The Beatles, Gerry Rafferty and Billy Connolly. His work is held in major collections in Scotland and abroad. Several of his paintings hang in The Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh, the Museum of Modern Art and the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow. The Fine Art Society, Edinburgh staged "John Byrne: In The Studio" in December 2024.
mixed media on paper, signed and titled mounted, framed and under glass image size 21cm x 50cm, overall size 43cm x 70cm Note: Gordon Wyllie was born in Greenock and in 1949 was accepted to study at the Glasgow School of Art. Under the tutelage of such luminaries as Edward Odling and Mary and Willie Armour, Gordon distinguished himself, graduating in 1953 after an eminent final year. He was awarded the post-diploma, or Masters course, won the Scottish Academy Award and also the Newbery Medal, the school's most prestigious prize. This was all the more remarkable considering that Gordon had, in his diploma year, returned home to care for his father, whose seriously deteriorating health ended in death two months before the degree show, and Gordon himself had suffered a bout of pneumonia. With a scholarship award, he studied that summer at Hospitalfield, Arbroath, as a post-graduate under Ian Fleming. Fleming inspired Gordon and encouraged him in abstraction, with which he occupied himself for the next few years. Meanwhile, he trained at Jordanhill College of Education in Glasgow to become a teacher, in the vanguard of the resurgence of art teaching in Scottish schools by the new art masters, undoubtedly because they painted actively while teaching full-time. Passionate about art education, he was instrumental in influencing many students to pursue a career in the creative industry. A former pupil aptly described his classroom as a "guided exploration rather than a formal lesson". His love of the Scottish countryside is mirrored in his work and undoubtedly stemmed from the bank of images he built when, as a youngster, he travelled with his parents around the country. Argyll and the Western Isles were his favourite destinations, where he was fascinated by the crofts and farms sprouting from the land. Small houses typified his landscapes and still-lifes included abstracted landscapes; flowers, particularly poppies, fruit and fish feature in his later output. In 1996, he was awarded the Alexander Graham Munro prize at the RSW exhibition in Edinburgh. His work featured regularly in one-man and combined shows and at his last one-man show in London in 2003, demand for his paintings remained high, as it has done ever since.

Philip became a lecturer at Mansfield College of Art from 1965 to 1972 and a Senior Lecturer at Newport College of Art from 1972 to 1991. A draughtsman of the very highest order, Philip’s drawings of marine subjects are both breath-taking and brilliant in their observation and what he described as ‘retinal experience’. There is a strong surreal element to his paintings, showing very imaginative and poetic handling with what he termed ‘considerations of surreal and social themes’. During his life as an artist Philip Muirden always avoided the production of works with a unified, pre-conceived brand image. His output contains celebrations of his ‘retinal images’, such as the wonderful fishing boat subject matter he painted.

When given an opportunity for an early retirement, he chose the Dales without hesitation and continues to paint the surrounding landscapes on large canvases, working mainly in oil paints. He has exhibited in a number of galleries across the UK including the York Art Gallery and the Bowes Museum and has previously been recognised by the Royal Academy.]
