* ALEXANDRA (SANDIE) GARDNER (SCOTTISH b 1945), STILL LIFE WITH FRUIT TARRAZA oil on canvas, signed, inscribed verso 57cm x 65cm Framed Note: Alexandra (Sandie) Gardner is without doubt one of Scotland's most successful and well known living artists. Unquestionably one of the country's biggest personalities in the Scottish art world. Born in 1945 in Glasgow, Sandie is fiercely proud of her working-class roots. Showing extraordinary artistic talent from the age of 5, Sandie was accepted to study at the prestigious Glasgow School of Art in 1963. She worked hard and was closely under the tutelage of the Head of School, David Donaldson. Almost unbelievably, as soon as she qualified, Sandie was offered a lecturing position at the Art School, she was 22 years old. Sandie had a highly successful teaching career and throughout these years she was able to paint for several prestigious galleries in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London and had several highly acclaimed solo shows. After some 21 years at GSA , Sandie retired from teaching in 1988 to become a full-time professional artist, she never looked back.
* CLAIRE HARKESS RSW (SCOTTISH B. 1970 - ),POLAR BEARwatercolour on paper, signed, dated 1998 label verso26cm x 18cmMounted, framed and under glass.Label verso: Gallery 41, EdinburghNote 1: In 1998, Claire worked as Artist in Residence with The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland. While at Edinburgh Zoo she was filmed as part of the BBC "Ex-S" series and a fascinating documentary about her work was broadcast in November of that year. This work is a portrait of a specific animal at Edinburgh Zoo and it's likely that many Edinburgh residents and visitors to the Zoo will recognise this animal..Note 2: Claire Harkess was born in Ayr, Scotland, graduating from Glasgow School of Art in the early 1990s. In recent years her painting has taken her to fragile lands to study and interpret life on the edge. Antarctica, Outback Australia and St Kilda are all places where, in such extreme environments, survival is difficult and the balance of life is delicate. Harkess has also worked on the Galápagos Islands, made famous by Charles Darwin’s ‘The Origin of the Species’. This isolated volcanic outpost remained relatively untouched by man, evolving to become one of the World’s unique ecosystems. The balance present in nature is clearly communicated through Claire's paintings. Painting in watercolour or gouache offers a unique directness; the essential qualities of light and energy present in the natural world are the very essence of the medium itself. The delicacy of her palette and oriental economy of her mark-making creates a subtle tension representing a world that is ‘holding still’, giving a sense of freedom, spirit, time and place. Claire's work is exhibited at The Scottish Gallery, where her most recent highly successful solo show was in July 2020, and at other prestigious galleries around the UK.
* PETER GRAHAM ROI (SCOTTISH b 1959), HONFLEUR, FRANCE oil on canvas, signed 60cm x 65cm Framed Note: Peter Graham was born in Glasgow in 1959. He attended the Glasgow School of Art, graduating in 1980. In 2000 Peter was elected to Full Membership of The Royal Institute of Oil Painters, R.O.I. Peter has earned a reputation as one of Britain’s most gifted and distinctive Modern Colourists. His work is often related to the Modern Scottish School but Peter has a flamboyant style which is unique, – detailed brush work combined with loose fluid strokes creating vibrant contrasts of pure colour, line and tone. In the winter months within his studio he delves deeply into the still life genre, creating some of his most stunning compositions, always with colour the dominant theme but reflecting the heightened sense of atmosphere and passion that comes directly from painting in the beauty of the Mediterranean. Recently, hugely successful exhibitions in London have allowed Peter to take on extra studio space and his work is being enthusiastically exhibited by many of the UK's most prestigious galleries. Impressive recent auction prices include a slightly smaller example "Decorations with Flowers" which was sold at McTear's in The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction for £2800 (lot 580, 26th May 2019).

She has won many awards and her highly individual paintings encompass a remarkably wide range of subjects - still life, figure and portrait studies, the nude, landscape, moody bars, diners, restaurants and barber shops.

Royal Enfield Model G 350cc OHVReg. no. JY 9508Frame no. 24301Engine no. G2750Described as the father of the modern Bullet, the first Model G 350cc motorcycles were produced to provide a basic, reliable motorcycle at a price that was available to everyone. These bikes were very successful and went through several revisions up to WWII when Enfield concentrated on making bikes for the military. Post war, production of the model G single cylinder OHV 350cc restarted successfully and provided transport to a market that was struggling to rebuild in austere times. This lovely unrestored motorbike has been in the same family ownership since 1987 and was left to the present owner by her late grandfather who had a large collection of classic cars and bikes. Too good for a full restoration and fun to ride, this bike was one of his favourites and he used this bike on a regular basis above any others in his collection. The bike has lived all its life in the West Country and still retains its original Plymouth registration number. Dry stored for the last couple of years the bike will require the usual recommissioning checks prior to going back on the road. Comes with – a current V5C, previous V5C, old V5 and a buff logbook dating back to 1941. Also some old MOT certificates and tax discs.
