Wilfred G. May, in the style of William Russell Flint, watercolour still-life of Sunflowers, dated '97, 9" x 8", and seven other still- lives W. G. MAY 1922 -. , (Wilfred Glyndon May BSc FICE) W. G. May is a self-taught watercolourist who also works sometimes in pastels, crayons or oils. His greatest influence is Sir W. Russell Flint, of whose technique he has made a lifelong study. Russell Flint's fluid watercolours and exotic nudes inspire many of May's nude figure paintings, but the artist also specializes in clothed figures - particularly female dancers - and portraits. The occasional flower study, landscape or still life also finds a place among his work. May attained his Civil Engineering degree at University College, London in 1943, after which he became an officer in the Royal Engineers for the remainder of the Second World War, stationed in North Africa. He then worked for the WS Atkins Group until 1981, when he retired in order to become a full-time artist. He has exhibited in galleries in the Epsom and Dorking area, and served for several years as Chairman of the Epsom Art Group, whose exhibitions are held at Bourne Hall, Ewell. In his home village of Tadworth he has been influential in the amateur art world, as an inspirational art tutor and leader of outdoor painting expeditions. W. G. May continues as an art tutor, but gave up his own painting career two years ago due to illness. Most of his earlier work has been sold. What remains is pieces of work never before offered for sale, and some from recent years.

The occasional flower study, landscape or still life also finds a place among his work. May attained his Civil Engineering degree at University College, London in 1943, after which he became an officer in the Royal Engineers for the remainder of the Second World War, stationed in North Africa. He then worked for the WS Atkins Group until 1981, when he retired in order to become a full-time artist. He has exhibited in galleries in the Epsom and Dorking area, and served for several years as Chairman of the Epsom Art Group, whose exhibitions are held at Bourne Hall, Ewell. In his home village of Tadworth he has been influential in the amateur art world, as an inspirational art tutor and leader of outdoor painting expeditions. W. G. May continues as an art tutor, but gave up his own painting career two years ago due to illness. Most of his earlier work has been sold. What remains is pieces of work never before offered for sale, and some from recent years. h: 9 x w: 15 in.
