•RONALD JESTY (1926-2016) MATCHBOOK SOUVENIRS Signed and dated 94, watercolour 26.5 x 28.5cm. ++ Good condition The following 25 lots have been consigned for sale by the executors of the artist's estate. Jesty was born in Weymouth in 1926. He trained to be a draughtsman and a graphic designer and worked in that field for over thirty years, producing neatly drawn and finely coloured designs for advertising and exhibitions. Jesty pursued painting in watercolour as a hobby but took it up full time in 1978 at the age of 52, becoming a member of the Royal Society of British Artists in 1982, and he worked principally in Dorset, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall as well as making occasional trips to Scotland. He found teaching at the College of Art in Yeovil to be a pleasurable sideline and stressed the importance of rigorous method and good fundamental skills to his students. For example, the painstaking use of tracings allowed him to focus upon the problem of suggesting volume and depth upon a flat surface and he enjoyed exploring light and tone more than colour - he liked to compare the challenges and satisfaction of completing a picture with the complexity of a game of chess. This methodical approach resulted in his work being used as illustrations in many publications on the practice of art. A regular exhibitor at the Royal West of England and occasionally at the Royal Academy and Royal Watercolour Society too, Jesty also showed his work in many one man shows in the West Country. Justifiably proud of his ability to resolve self-imposed compositional difficulties in order to find a good balance between representation and modest innovation, Jesty's work shows that he was a fine technician in this demanding medium but also that he was able to marry his draughtsman's eye with a truly artistic understanding of all his various subjects.

§ Elsa Vaudrey (British, 1905-1990) Still life of pears, melons, apples and a starfish signed lower right "Vaudrey / 1942" watercolour 36 x 54cm (14 x 21in) Provenance: From the collection of Eila Grahame Other Notes: Born in Glasgow, Elsa Vaudrey was the youngest of five children. Following her mother's and sister's deaths in the First World War, she enrolled at the Glasgow School of Art, where she was taught by Ancell Stronach (1901-1981). She first studied embroidery, which led to painting wall hangings and later landscapes, graduating in 1927. Vaudrey is known to have painted in her studio to Bach and Mozart, often using a long paintbrush at arm's length. She once set up on a Thames barge and would often paint in the streets whilst kneeling down with her painting on the ground. She famously ran into Salvador Dali on her trip to Costa Brava, who singled out her work at an exhibition and is said to have exclaimed: "This has Life!" In 1946, she met and befriended Giorgio de Chirico on the occasion of her exhibition in Rome - he later visited her solo shows at the Redfern in the 1960s. Close to the end of her life, she became friends with Andrew McIntosh Patrick, with whom she began to plan an exhibition of her recent work. The show was held a few months after her death at The Fine Art Society, London. We are grateful to Elsa Vaudrey's grand-daughter, Isolde Stammers, for her assistance with the catalogue entry. Perhaps a little dirty.
