* SIR NICHOLAS FAIRBAIRN (SCOTTISH 1933 - 1995), SEPTEMBER SUNSET mixed media on paper, signed and dated 1971 52cm x 78cm Mounted, framed and under glass. Label verso: King Street Gallery, Edinburgh. Note: Sir Nicholas Fairbairn was a colourful, flamboyant and controversial figure in Scottish legal circles and on the UK political scene during the latter quarter of the 20th century. He was immensely popular among his constituents and was widely respected as a competent and diligent constituency MP. Fairbairn was the epitome of an eccentric in his attitudes, his sartorial style and in most other aspects of his working and personal life. While some disagreed with him, few if any, doubted his intelligence or wit. He was a brilliant QC and was appointed Solicitor General for Scotland in 1979. He always carried a silver miniature, working revolver on a chain attached to his belt. He was reputedly the only MP to use the House of Commons Parliamentary snuff box. Above all, Sir Nicholas Fairbairn was his own man. He amusingly, but typically, described himself in his final entry in Who's Who, as "Author, forester, painter, poet, TV and radio broadcaster, journalist, dress-designer, landscape gardener, bon viveur, raconteur and wit". His autobiography, A Life is Too Short, was published in 1987.

* WILLIAM LITTLEJOHN RSA RSW RGI (SCOTTISH 1929 - 2006), SPOTTED FISH watercolour on paper, signed and dated, further titled verso 50cm x 78cm Mounted, framed and under glass. Note: William Littlejohn was born in Arbroath, Scotland in 1929 and began his artistic training at the Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeen from 1946-50. Although he explored different approaches to painting, Littlejohn favoured watercolours and collage-based media, often incorporating images of his native Angus and Aberdeenshire into his work. He held his first solo exhibition in 1963 but had already been exhibiting at the Royal Scottish Academy since 1951. He was elected member of the RSA in 1973, and often exhibited with the Royal Society of Painters in Watercolour. Littlejohn taught at his former high school in Arbroath and subsequently at Gray’s School of Art, later becoming Head of Fine Art until his retirement in 1991. He continued to paint late into life and began to experiment with silver and gold leaf in his later works. In 2006, Littlejohn gifted the contents of his studio, including 300 watercolours, oils, drawings, and studio objects, to the Royal Scottish Academy. That same year, the RSA held an exhibition in his honour. His work is held in important collections throughout Britain, including the private collections of HM The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.
