* BILL WRIGHT RSW RGI DA (SCOTTISH 1931 - 2016), SHORE BIRD watercolour on paper, signed, titled and dated '88mounted, framed and under glassimage size 30cm x 43cm, overall size 53cm x 64cm Note: Bill Wright's talent first became evident when he was a boy, drawing endlessly for amusement while bedbound with illness. He went on to study painting at Glasgow School of Art and became an award-winning watercolourist, constantly inspired by was seascape and ever-changing sky on the Kintyre peninsula where he had a second home. Glasgow-born Wright, the son of a shipyard plater, was brought up in Partick and started his schooling at the city’s Dowanhill Primary before being evacuated to Dunoon during the Second World War. After returning home he attended Hyndland Senior Secondary and despite being discouraged by his parents, who would have preferred him to have a “proper job”, in 1949 he began his studies at Glasgow School of Art. They were interrupted by national service – a duty he felt hindered the progression of his art career. He served at Catterick army garrison but was a pacifist who abhorred war and dismissed the opportunity to be promoted to Sergeant as an army career held no interest. His first teaching post was at East Park School in Glasgow’s Maryhill. He then moved in 1965 to St Patrick’s High School in Dumbarton where he spent two years before becoming art adviser for the area at the age of 36. Over the next two decades he fostered the idea of instilling a cultural interest in art among pupils. He formed working groups to reform teaching of first and second-year students, encouraged forward-looking principal teachers and recruited many young teachers. His ethos was that teachers were not just there to create artists but to give all children a good art experience. He also established a residential art course for school children, at the Pirniehall residential educational facility at Croftamie in Dunbartonshire, where youngsters from different backgrounds could investigate the idea of furthering an art career through experiencing a range of different mediums in an art camp environment. And he is said to have been instrumental in encouraging the implementation of Scotland’s Standard Grade art and design qualification. However, he suffered from the chronic arthritic condition ankylosing spondylitis which, by the age of 55, forced him to take early retirement from his post in the education department of Strathclyde Regional Council. Meanwhile, as he had strived to enthuse youngsters with his own passion for art, he had been elected, in 1977, to the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour. A member of the Glasgow Arts Club for many years, he was also an elected member of the Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts and Paisley Art Institute, served as president of the Scottish Artists’ Benevolent Association for 14 years and was a Scottish Arts Council lecturer, touring the country discussing art. But perhaps his own greatest inspiration was the view from a cottage he stumbled upon half a century ago, seven miles from Campbeltown on the Mull of Kintyre. He rented the property at Bellochantuy and set up a studio there where he drew on the vistas stretching 180 degrees, encompassing sea, beach, rocks and sky. He was utterly smitten by the area and was ultimately bequeathed the cottage by the owner who had become a close family friend. Over the years he came to know the area intimately and was fascinated by the constantly changing moods of the sea and light of the sky which formed the majority of his output. One large body of work, "Towards Islay", focused on the view from the back of the cottage. He captured the patterns and waves of the sea, sometimes adding a bird, limpit, mermaid’s purse, rock lines or some seaweed. But at times his works were very abstract and symbolic, concentrating on themes of nature and transience. He was hung in all the major shows in Scotland and in galleries across the country from Aberdeenshire to Edinburgh, Glasgow and south of the border. His work also features in public collections of Stirling and Strathclyde Universities, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and the Educational Institute of Scotland. And he was recognised with The Laing Prize for Landscape and Seascape and the RSW’s Sir William Gillies Award.
* PAM CARTER DA PAI (SCOTTISH 1952 - 2022), WEST COAST SUNSET oil on canvas, signedframed and under glassimage size 61cm x 61cm, overall size 76cm x 76cm Note: Pam Carter was born in Tanganyika, East Africa to an Austrian mother and Scottish father. At the age of thirteen, she came to Scotland where she schooled at Bearsden Academy. She graduated from Glasgow School of Art in the seventies. "My main inspiration as an artist is in the Scottish landscape and seascape. I enjoy using colour to define contours, structure and changing light sequences. I search out specific viewpoints. I am equally inspired by the rugged isolation of the Western Isles and the dramatic viewpoints of the Eastern coastline. I work predominantly in oil". Pam Carter was unquestionably one of Scotland's most popular and successful contemporary artists. She won numerous awards and prizes, always received significant media attention, has been the subject of many magazine features and had several tv appearances. Her work is widely exhibited but rarely appears at auction. However, in The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 17th April 2022 lot 38 "Luskentyre Reflections" a 46 x 51cm oil by Pam Carter sold for £2000 (hammer) and in The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 10th July 2022 lot 230 "Gables Geary" sold for £2600 (hammer).Comment: Pam was a special artist and one who enjoyed wide popularity and substantial commercial success. In all our dealings with Pam over the years, she was always generous with her time and quick to provide the background to paintings we had received from private consignors and filling in gaps about locations, dates etc. Pam's work is instantly recognisable and she had that rare gift, even among the best artists, of being able to use the minimum of brushwork to create the maximum visual effect. Her "lines" were those of the natural environment but she knew exactly how to "see" them and portray them on canvas. Despite her commercial success, or perhaps even because of it, Pam's work probably hasn't yet reached the full audience that it so richly deserves. She exhibited frequently at numerous galleries in Scotland and gallery owners were inevitably in a queue to secure her work. Typically, Pam showed loyalty to those who were the first to support her when she was a relative unknown. Talented artists always wish to be remembered by their work and Pam Carter can be certain of that, but she'll also be remembered with great affection by all those who had the good fortune to meet her or know her.

20th Century English School, Lambton "H.M.S. Jervis Bay's Last Action, 1940," O.O.C., atmospheric seascape with naval ship in smoke, approx. 96cms x 158cms (38" x 62"), with plaque, indistinctly signed Lambton, in wooden frame. (1) During the Battle, when the convoy encountered the German warship Admiral Scheer, about 755 nautical miles (1,398 km) south-southwest of Reykjavík, the captain of Jervis Bay, Edward Fegen, ordered the convoy to scatter, and set his own ship on a course towards the German warship to draw its fire. Jervis Bay was hopelessly outgunned and outranged by the 28 cm (11inch) guns of the German ship, but it attacked the larger ship with its guns, firing more to distract the German ship from the merchantmen than with hopes of doing any damage.[4] Although the German's shells ravaged Jervis Bay, and Fegen was wounded and many crewmen killed, Fegen and the surviving crew fought on until their ship was sunk. Captain Fegen and many of the crew went down with the ship.[5] Jervis Bay's sacrifice bought enough time for the convoy to begin to scatter. According to some sources[who?], further time was bought by the freighter SS Beaverford, which engaged Admiral Scheer, for over four hours. However, the account published after the war by the captain of Admiral Scheer and the timings of the sinking show that there was no such engagement. Beaverford fled with the other ships, but was sunk during the night. In the end, the German cruiser was only able to sink five merchant ships, and the remainder of the convoy escaped.[6] Sixty-eight survivors of Jervis Bay's crew of 254 were picked up by the neutral Swedish ship Stureholm [sv](three later died of their wounds).[7]Guy Byam was one of the survivors of the sinking; he was later killed while covering an air raid over Germany for the BBC.[8] Captain Fegen was awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross as a result of this action. The citation for his award reads: For valour in challenging hopeless odds and giving his life to save the many ships it was his duty to protect. On the 5th of November, 1940, in heavy seas, Captain Fegen, in His Majesty's Armed Merchant Cruiser Jervis Bay, was escorting thirty-eight Merchantmen. Sighting a powerful German warship he at once drew clear of the Convoy, made straight for the Enemy, and brought his ship between the Raider and her prey, so that they might scatter and escape. Crippled, in flames, unable to reply, for nearly an hour the Jervis Bay held the German's fire. So she went down: but of the Merchantmen all but four or five were saved.
Abayomi Barber (Nigerian, 1928-2021)Seascape signed 'Abayomi/ 93' (lower right)oil on canvas 59 x 79.5cm (23 1/4 x 31 5/16in).Footnotes:Abayomi Barber was best known for his application of surrealism to his artworks and his acute talent for producing naturalistic sculptures and paintings. Born in Ile-Ife in 1928, Barber would go on to study sculpture at Yaba College of Technology in Lagos. He later studied art in London while also working as an assistant to artist Obafemi Awolowo before returning to Lagos in 1971 to lecture at the University of Lagos. Following his experience of the demeaning expectations of European artists, Barber informally set up the Abayomi Barber School of Art. Its core ethos was grounded in debunking these low Western perceptions of African artists and making conceptual and surrealist art forms accessible and universal to African artists' practices.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Oil on canvas, 67.5 x 95 cm (unframed), 82 x 109 cm (framed). This impressive painting from the Russian school, painted around 1880, presents several variants of the work Aivazovsky produced in 1875 (sold by Christie's in 2008). The scene takes place in Feodosia, southern Crimea, by the light of a full moon. Traces of an illegible signature can be seen at the bottom left. Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky, born on 17 July 1817 in Feodosia, was noted from an early age for his talents in languages, music and drawing. At the age of 16 he was admitted to the Russian Academy of Arts in St Petersburg, specialising in seascape painting, a passion that arose after taking part in training with the Russian naval fleet. In 1839 he won his first gold medal, and although he had the opportunity to study in Rome, he preferred to return to Feodosia to perfect his technique. Later, in Rome, his work The Bay of Naples in the Moonlight was praised by J.M.W. Turner. Aivazovsky travelled around Europe, taking part in exhibitions such as the Paris Salon, where he received another gold medal and the Legion of Honour in 1857. Provenance: French private collection.
