Michael Healy (1873-1941) Co. Dublin Landscape Oil on board, 20 x 26.5cm (7¾ x 10½'') Provenance: Michael Healy Studio Sale, De Vere's 23/9/03, lot 26. Born in Dublin in 1873 in humble circumstances Michael Healy had an innate interest in art and an ability in drawing which developed further with his attendance at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art in 1892. His artistic education was interrupted for a couple of years while he investigated whether he had a religious vocation. He re-enrolled in art college and on graduating secured a job as an illustrator with The Irish Rosary a new Dominican publication. Through the influence of his editor Healy travelled to Florence where he attended the Life School of the Academia di Belle Arti. He returned to Ireland in 1901 but it wasn’t until 1903 that his career really got going with Sarah Purser’s invitation to join An Túr Gloine, the stained glass studio whose other members included A.E.Child, Beatrice Elvery, Wilhelmina Geddes and Evie Hone. Initially he assisted in the painting of windows designed by others but within a year or two was designing and painting windows entirely himself. The quality of his work set him apart from many of his peers and before long he had ceased assisting others and developed his own style and ultimately a successful practice, producing windows for chapels, churches and cathedrals in Ireland and throughout the world. While stained glass is what he is best known for, we are all very familiar with his ‘Dubliners’ series, small watercolour sketches of people in his native city going about their everyday activities. He did exhibit a small number of oil paintings throughout his life, painting both portraits and landscapes. The present collection of charming and attractive oils were purchased by Homan at Michael Healy’s studio sale held by DeVere’s in September 2003.
Lilian Lucy Davidson ARHA (1879-1954) The Seine, Paris, Through Trees Watercolour, 40 x 33cm (15¾ x 13'') Signed with monogram Originally from Bray, Co. Wicklow, Lilian Davidson studied at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art where she was a prize-winning student. In 1897 she won the RDS Scholarship which carried a free studentship, it didn’t come too soon as that was the year of her father’s death. She began exhibiting at the RHA in 1914 and did so regularly until her death. When in Dublin she taught painting privately in her studio and at schools around the county. Although not in very buoyant financial circumstances she travelled extensively and did so for most of her life. She painted landscapes in France, Belgium and Switzerland, besides various parts of Ireland. She first exhibited at the Watercolour Society in 1912, and did so until 1954. She also exhibited regularly with the Dublin Painters Society (1939-54) and the Munster Fine Art Club, and was part of an interesting circle, being friendly with Jack Yeats whom she painted. She also wrote plays under the pseudonym of ‘Ulick Burke’, and her most famous play 'Bride' was directed at the Gate Theatre by Hilton Edwards, with sets designed by Michael McLiammoir. She was certainly aware of the works of Honore Daumier and Jean Francois Millet and used the same prototype of humanity for important works depicting the Irish Peasant. Davidson portrayed the Claddagh, the Irish-speaking district of Galway, at a time when she was involved with the Torch Theatre for whom she was writing a play. Her portraits of Jack B. Yeats and Sarah Purser can be found in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Ireland, and other works including a self-portrait 'The Golden Shawl' are in Dublin City Gallery, the Hugh Lane, the Abbey Theatre and Ulster Museum Collections.

Forget Me Nots - Watercolour & acrylic. One positive thing that has come out of the past year’s lockdown for me, is that it enabled me to be around to see the spring plants coming up in my garden. From Snowdrops in February to Tulips in May, I have watched the colours in the garden change. My watercolour painting is a close up of some Forget Me Nots growing over a piece of driftwood.
Harlequin in Hibernation - Watercolour. The World Land Trust is currently protecting the European hedgehog to ensure its survival in the future. My painting of a hedgehog in multicolour is a depiction of the protection and hope for the mammal synonymous to the rainbow motif which has been a sign of light at the end of the tunnel during the COVID pandemic.
Seaside Memories - Watercolours. Coastal towns and spaces have a special place in my memories. People behave and celebrate their moments by the sea in ways that bring joy to the heart. I have set out to capture a sense of the freedom enjoyed - a oneness with nature that survives through less welcome times. Painting this watercolour sketch has been fun. Does it lift your spirits?
The Space Between - Mixed watercolour and acrylics. ‘The Space Between’ was inspired by the Perseverance mission to Mars in February this year. Discovering incredible online images of the Martian surface has given me creative inspiration and for a long time I’ve been fascinated by Earth viewed from outer space. The distance and 7 month journey from Earth to Mars can only be imagined in my painting. I used a combination of watercolours and acrylics, with photographic images of Earth and Mars.
Garden Robin - watercolour. My paintings are celebratory. They are all done for pleasure. I hope they convey the beauty of the world and the joy of painting in watercolour. Many are done outdoors, in all weathers. Others are studio pieces. But, whatever the circumstances the enjoyment of the subject and the painting process is just the same.
