He first began work on No Man's Land in 1918, when recovering from a serious wound. The final, full sized version is in the Tate's collections, and was described by John Singer Sargent as 'The best thing I have seen so far by any artist of the War'.

* GORDON H WYLLIE RSW DA (SCOTTISH 1930 - 2005), AUTUMN MOON gouache on paper, signed and dated '82, titled label verso 11.5cm x 16cm Mounted, framed and under glass. Handwritten label verso. 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 Master's 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. In the last couple of years auction prices, in Glasgow and elsewhere, have shown a significant surge, reflecting the increasing collector interest in Gordon Wyllie's work. His auction record price has been beaten on regular occasions and currently stands at £2400 (hammer) established in October 2020.

* MICHAEL SCOTT (SCOTTISH 1946 - 2006), COME SAIL YOUR SHIPS AROUND ME oil on canvas, signed 120cm x 117cm (approximately 48 x 46 inches) - excludes frame. Framed. Label verso: The Contemporary Fine Art Gallery, Eton. Notes: This lot includes a hardback copy of "Michael Scott, Testament" published in 2010. The painting features as a full page image on page 81 and confirms it was completed in 2001.This painting was inspired by "The Ship Song", the 1990 indie classic love song written and first performed by Nick Cave. The title of the painting is the first line of the song. The song has been covered by numerous artists most notably the 2010/11 collaboration of over 100 musicians as a promotional film and song for the Sydney Opera House. What became known as "The Ship Song Project" took almost a year to complete and in the first 24 hours after its launch, the film clip was shared online more than 1.7 million times. It became a major media success and is credited with bringing about a 40% increase in ticket sales at the Sydney Opera House. (extensive details online and video on YouTube). Michael Scott's large work rarely appears at auction but The Bathers, a 36 x 40 inch oil on canvas sold at Christie's, London on 28th October 2004 (lot 299) for £7170 (premium) and At The Riverbank, a smaller example was sold by McTear's for £4000 (hammer) - lot 1720, 26th August 2014. Born in Aberdeenshire in 1946, Michael Scott (Mike Scott) studied Political Science at Liverpool before doing a one year's teacher training course in Huddersfield. After moving to Glasgow, Scott took a full-time research post at Glasgow University followed by a lecturing post at the re-named Glasgow Caledonian University. By 1997 demand for his work had become so great that he had to resign his post at the University to paint full time. Awards Include: The David Cargill Senior Award, Royal Glasgow Institute. Exhibitions Include: 1988~John D Kelly Gallery, Glasgow: 1994~Roger Billcliffe Fine Art, Glasgow ~Contemporary Fine Art, Eton; 1995~Portland Gallery, London; 1997~Fosse Gallery, Stowe on Trent ~Contemporary Fine Art, Eton; 1998~Portland Gallery, London; 2001~Portland Gallery, London, 2004~Portland Gallery, London; 2010~A Memorial Exhibition, Roger Billcliffe, Glasgow. Collections Include: Distillers plc, Robert Fleming Holdings Ltd, Spencer Stuart & Associates, Teachers Whisky, Whyte and Mackay and others. To mark the 10th anniversary of Michael Scott's death, The Roger Billcliffe Gallery staged an exhibition of his work 1st April - 30th April 2016. We believe "Come Sail Your Ships Around Me" is the finest example of Michael Scott's work to have been offered at auction.
