* COLIN W BURNS (BRITISH b 1944 - ), HUNTSMAN IN A LANDSCAPE oil on board,signed 62cm x 91cm (24.5 x 35.8 inches) Framed. Note: Born in 1944, Colin Burns grew up in a Norfolk seaside town. From the age of seven, he began to paint landscapes and sunsets and, as a nine year old, started winning art prizes at school. At the age of twelve, his parents moved to live in the middle of the country in a marshland farmhouse and his former town life was replaced with beautiful surroundings and the local wildlife. Colin Burns claims that this change of lifestyle was the greatest artistic influence he has experienced. He became more and more involved in painting and began observing the wonders of nature. At the age of sixteen he left school and qualified as an accountant and went to work at 'Birds Eye' in Great Yarmouth, painting in his spare time and finding an enthusiastic market for his local landscapes. Colin's paintings caught the eye of a well known Art Dealer - Ivor Hook of 'The Little Gallery' in Elm Hill, Norwich - and, through an introduction in 1976 to the renowned 'Tryon' Gallery in London specialising in wildlife by leading artists, Colin held his first exhibition in 1977. Having left 'Birds Eye' in 1978 to become a professional artist, painting both in oil and watercolour, concentrating on the East Anglian countryside and the birds that inhabit it, Colin Burns has now become one of the most ·successful artists of the day. The Highlands of Scotland and its moors with its unique Scottish wildlife are also beautifully portrayed along with London scenes and even Central Park in New York, such is the versatility of Colin's talent with the brush. However it is the East Anglian countryside for which he is regarded as a leading wildlife artist. The international Auction House 'Christies' now almost exclusively handles the sales of his new work through sales in London, New York and Scotland. Many of his paintings have been reproduced as greetings cards and prints and his original oils and watercolours are keenly sought after and included in important collections in Europe and the USA.

William Henry Mander (British, 1850-1922) Welsh landscape with waterfall signed lower left "W H Mander" watercolour 44 x 32cm (17 x 12in) William Henry Mander was a landscape painter who lived in Birmingham, North Wales, Lincoln and Sheffield and specialised in painting views of the Midlands and North Wales. His style is similar to that of Benjamin Williams Leader when Leader broke away from the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites towards a broader, and more naturalistic style. Mander exhibited between 1882 and 1914 and although he never showed his paintings in London he was a frequent exhibitor at The Royal Society of Artists in Birmingham (66 works) together with his contemporaries David Bates and Benjamin Williams Leader. A little loss of colour to the sky but generally colours are good.

L.J. Wood, watercolour, figures outside a church. 29 cm x 18 cm, framed, signed. CONDITION REPORT: This painting is in very good condition. The mount is in good order if a little yellowed with age. The frame is in good condition. We can find very little information about the artist. There are three paintings on the arts sales index all described as L J Wood (born 1813-died 1901). These are all continental street and cathedral scenes. One made £400 at Christie's in London, December 14th 1979 another 260 in July 1980 and one with an estimate of £1200-£1400 did not sell in December 2008. We have no further information of the artist.
Tom Scott, watercolour, horse and trap on rural lane. 24 cm x 17 cm, framed, signed with monogram. CONDITION REPORT: There are no gallery labels on the rear of this picture. We have no specific problems with the painting. We believe it is by the Selkirk artist Tome Scott although it is only monogrammed. It certainly looks similar to other watercolours by this artist that we have seen.

PAUL CHABAS (FRENCH 1869 - 1937), THE LILY watercolour heightened with white on paper, signed 50cm x 38.5cm Framed and under glass Note: Paul Chabas was born in Nantes, and trained under William-Adolphe Bouguereau and Tony Robert-Fleury. He first exhibited at the Salon in 1890. Chabas won the Prix National at the 1899 Paris Salon with his Joyeux Ébats. He was awarded a gold medal at the Exposition Universelle of 1900 and in 1912 received the Médaille d'honneur. His preferred subject was the female nude in a natural setting. He was, and still is, considered to be one of Europe's greatest painters of nudes.His most famous painting, September Morn (1912), became a "Succès de scandale" in the United States in May, 1913. There was much publicity, and reproductions of the painting sold briskly for years afterwards. Chabas said he did not originally intend to sell the painting, because it was his wife's favorite. When he entered the painting in the Paris Salon of 1912, he set a price of $10,000, which he believed no one would pay. Leon Mantashev, son of oil magnate Alexander Mantashev, was willing to meet this price, and the painting was sold to him. In the 1890s, Chabas had illustrated books by such authors as Paul Bourget and Alfred de Musset. He also did some illustrating work for the French publisher Alphonse Lemerre. He became a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1921 and received the Légion d'honneur in 1928. From 1925 to 1935 he was president of the Société des Artistes Français. He died in Paris on May 10, 1937 and it was reported at the time that US buyers alone had purchased more that seven million reproductions of his paintings.
