In 1998 Sandy McIntosh won the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts Exhibition Award, and the Alexander Graham Munro Travel Award at the RSW the following year. This latter prize enabled him to travel throughout Japan during the summer of 1999. His experiences there have had an extraordinary influence on his work ever since. In 2000 Sandy McIntosh was elected a member of the RSW. "Without doubt the most profound influence on my painting to date has been the exposure to Japanese culture. The award of the Alexander Graham Munro Travel Award in 1998 inspired me to explore some of the Japanese motifs evident in my work. I am fascinated by the combination of abstract painting and collage with the addition of representational objects, images and shapes".

Living on the west coast of Scotland, and looking directly across to the Isle of Arran, his work is currently concerned with marine landscapes, often with an ambiguous narrative. James exhibits his work throughout Scotland and many of his paintings are in private and public collections worldwide.

* WILLIAM JOHNSTONE OBE (SCOTTISH 1897 - 1981),UNTITLEDwatercolour on paper, initialledimage size 70cm x 50cm, overall size 78cm x 58cm Mounted, framed and under glass.Note: William Johnstone was at the forefront of the British art world throughout the twentieth century. He became one of the first British artists to break with representation and paint purely abstract pictures; he also had evolutionary impact on art education. He was Principal at Camberwell College of Art from 1938- 1946 and then Principal at Central School of Arts and Crafts from 1947 to 1960. He developed the Basic Design course which stemmed from the Bauhaus and his instinct to defy convention and his eye for talented staff made Central a tour de force. Alan Davie, Anton Ehrenzweig, Patrick Heron, Earl Haig, John Minton, Eduardo Paolozzi, Victor Pasmore, Gordon Baldwin, William Turnbull all worked for him – which made for an explosive, creative mixture of artistic personalities. He received an OBE for his contribution to art education in 1954 then returned home to the Borders in 1960 to concentrate on painting and return to farming.

* WILLIAM BIRNIE RSW RGI (SCOTTISH 1929 - 2006),WINTER LANDSCAPE, KILBARCHANoil on board, signed and dated '79, titled label versoimage size 58cm x 78cm, overall size 69cm x 89cm Framed. Handwritten artist's label verso.Note: Bill Birnie studied at Glasgow School of Art under Gilbert Spencer and then at Hospitalfield under Ian Fleming. After graduating, he joined the staff at Hyndland Secondary School in 1952. That same year he was also elected a member of the Society of Scottish Artists (SSA). In 1958, he became a founder member of the Glasgow Group and formed the Glasgow Group Society, of which he was Vice-President for 32 years. In 1965, he was elected a member of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour (RSW), a society of which he also became Vice-President and Treasurer. He became Principal Art Teacher at Douglas Academy, near Bearsden, and later at Gryffe High, near Kilbarchan. Bill's abilities not only as a teacher but also as an administrator were noticed by the Department of Education and he was soon appointed Head Examiner in Art for Scotland. He still managed to maintain a very active exhibiting schedule and showed in all the main public galleries and many of Scotland's best commercial galleries. His work was enthusiastically collected and increasingly sought after. He was elected a member of the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Art (RGI) and of the Paisley Art Institute (PAI). In the early years, he painted from his garden, showing the village of Kilbarchan in its changing seasons, under a quiet blanket of winter snow, or framed in a blazing sunset through autumnal trees. Later visits to France and Italy with his artist wife, Cynthia Wall, whom he married in 1953, brought new subject matter, cafe scenes, vine groves, Italian clifftop villages, and the crumbling facades of palaces and churches of Venice. It was characteristic of the man that when told that his illness was terminal, he calmly put his affairs in order and started work for a final one-man show at the Open Eye Gallery (Edinburgh) the scene of so many of his successful shows. Unsurprisingly, the exhibition was a complete sell-out. In recent years there has been a widely acknowledged acceleration in the prices achieved at auctions around the UK for William Birnie's paintings. In the Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 8th November 2020 lot 567 "The Red House" (Kilbarchan) a 60 x 90cm oil sold for £3000 (hammer) which, not for the first time in recent years, set a new auction record for a painting by William Birnie.

* CLAIRE HARKESS RSW (SCOTTISH b. 1970),COASTAL FLIGHTwatercolour on paper, signed; titled label versoimage size 60cm x 90cm, overall size 89cm x 117cm Mounted, framed and under glass. Handwritten label verso.Artist's label verso.Note: 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.Condition is good overall, with no visible signs of restoration, damage, or known issues.

On My Own. Oil on 425gsm watercolour paper. Across the open farmland one single oak tree looking quite small and insignificant at the edge of the fields, with the evening light turning to pale dusk with a long casting shadow, it needed to be drawn and painted. I'm sure it called out "I'm on my own" after the sketch. After the finished painting it would never be on its own again!!

Pair of 18th Century Lowestoft Pugs. Watercolour. My watercolour painting is of a pair of porcelain standing Pug dogs made in around 1770 by the Lowestoft porcelain factory. The factory with kilns and workshops stood in what is now Factory Street in the middle of Lowestoft. This pair is the only true pair( facing left and right) in the world and have recently been purchased by the Lowestoft Museum in Nicholas Everitt Park, where they are now on permanent display. They were purchased with a grant from the V&A, Museum Association and the local Gwen Baker trust. I am a volunteer at the museum and was involved in liaising with these organisations in obtaining the grants. The porcelain Pugs are amazing, a must see for everyone!!

Mandarin. Acrylic on watercolour paper. The reason for painting the subject was: When I was a child playing in Nicholas Everitt park I first saw a Mandarin duck on small inlet. At first I didn't think it was real with its unusual shape & colours. Thinking it was made of wood & looking like a brightly coloured toy. We have many of them here by the Thames by Orleans gallery. Every time I see a pair I stop watch & smile at their beauty.
