watercolour on paper, signed, titled verso mounted, framed and under glass 4 image size 12cm x 13cm, overall size 36cm x 38cm Note: Bryan Evans is an artist who depicts in his paintings the rainy streets and tenement closes of Glasgow, Edinburgh and other Scottish towns and cities. Bryan was born in Pembrokeshire in West Wales in 1964. After one year at Dyfed College of Art in Carmarthen he studied a degree in Fine Art at Loughborough College of Art in Leicestershire, England. During this course he visited Glasgow School of Art on a three month exchange visit. Upon graduation he moved to Glasgow and has lived there ever since exhibiting his watercolours throughout Scotland. He works mainly in the medias of watercolour paintings, etchings and mezzotints. He has work in collections throughout Britain, Europe, and North America, and has gained considerable acclaim with his atmospheric interpretations of wet city streets and moody interiors.
limited edition digital print on paper, signed in silver ink and numbered 64/100, from the Revelations : A Portrait of Magic Series mounted, framed and under glass image size 81cm x 63cm, overall size 101cm x 82cm Note: certificate of authenticity is included with this lot. Note 2: Scottish artist Stuart regularly hits the headlines with his Pop Art paintings. Fusing cartoons with themes of idealism and consumerism, his multilayered artworks blend the past with the present through layers of figurative imagery, text and symbols. His release, Revelations: A Portrait of Magic, depicts the central characters of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. Stuart's McAlpine Miller’s spectral style has been described as ‘supernatural realism’ by the BBC and Radio 2 art critic Estelle Lovatt, who also praised its 4D aesthetic, adding that he has “one of the most creative minds in art today”. Using subtle tones of paint, he creates the illusion of transparency. The overall effect is similar to looking through a glass bottle, distorting the image and presenting a different version of the same subject. In turn, a far-fetched reality is created, highlighting the unrealistic expectations of today’s society. A graduate of the prestigious Glasgow School of Art, Stuart is an admirer of Old Masters such as Caravaggio and Hieronymus Bosch but is particularly inspired by one of the leading exponents of Pop Art, Andy Warhol. Stuart says: “Warhol’s views on mass consumerism and the way he translated these into his art is something I really relate to. I hope my art does something similar and stands the test of time.” Inspired by JK Rowling's Harry Potter novels, Stuart’s Revelations: A Portrait of Magic collection has captured best-loved characters including Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Albus Dumbledore, Draco Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange. Stuart says: “The art of illusion and magic reveals itself through the unified bond of the three central characters. As we continue to work in unison, we open the doors to an unimagined future, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. A new era lies ahead, as yet unrecognised but already awaiting our arrival.” In 2011, Stuart was chosen as artist-in-residence by the world-famous Savoy hotel after its major refurbishment. During his time there, he produced the collection A Time For Reflection: The Savoy Suite, which offered a unique insight into the hotel's patron, including Alfred Hitchcock, Marilyn Monroe and Charlie Chaplin. This popular release for Castle Fine Art was followed by Lost Lives/Split Personalities, which depicted some of history's most famous musicians including David Bowie, Amy Winehouse, Freddie Mercury and George Michael. Music took on a new meaning for Stuart when he began playing the piano seriously. Stuart says: “Music has for me, like many others, greatly influenced my own approach to my art, and the potential it creates within. The emotion that music can reveal allows the listener to transport themselves to a time, a place and a feeling. Art can do the same. We just have to open our minds.” The piano and art took on a new significance for Stuart when he was commissioned by Paul McCartney to paint the piano which he used on his 2004 European Tour. Stuart’s talents also saw him work on several advertising campaigns including Renault, McVities and Virgin; he also painted a triptych of The Alternative Last Supper used as backdrop for the main dining scene in Stephen Berkoff’s 1998 film Decadence. Stuart McAlpine Miller has commissions and collectors around the world, and has exhibited internationally, including Connaught Brown, the Catto Gallery, Kings Road Gallery, Rebecca Hossack Gallery and Duncan Miller in London; Ruth O'Hara and Hoerle-Guggenheim in New York and the SOTA Gallery, Hong Kong, as well as through the Castle Fine Art network of galleries in the UK.

ink on paper, monogrammed, titled label verso mounted, framed and under glass image size 20cm x 27cm, overall size 36cm x 44cm Exhibition label verso: 1 - 15 September (2018), The Torrance Gallery, Edinburgh Note: Artist and teacher, notably a draughtsman and painter of portraits, born in Sunninghill, Berkshire, brought up in the family home, Glenapp Castle, Ayrshire. Lady Mackay was the daughter of the 3rd Earl of Inchcape, chairman of the shipping line P&O who also ran Inchape PLC and was director of many other companies. Lucy Mackay was educated in Switzerland, Cambridge and at Edinburgh University and Edinburgh College of Art, 1960–5, under David Talbot Rice and William Gillies, graduating with a master’s honours degree in fine art. In 1973–4 she completed a postgraduate illustration studies year at the Central School of Art and Design. She settled in Edinburgh where she studied advanced botanic illustration at the Royal Botanic Garden, and where as a member of the Scottish Arts Club from 1983 she regularly attended life studies. Mackay began her extensive teaching career in 1966 as art assistant at Edinburgh Academy for Boys; from 1968–76 taught art, design and pottery at schools in the London area; then again in Edinburgh at the Salisbury Centre, 1981–2. In 1999 she joined the register of Angus County’s artists-in-residence for primary schools, serving at several schools. After winning first prize in a portrait painting competition run by the magazine Nursery World, 1953, and exhibiting a prize painting in the Daily Mail competition to celebrate the opening of the Forth Road Bridge, 1964, Mackay took part in many group shows, including the RSA. Among later solo exhibitions were The Italian Institute, Edinburgh, 1991; Torrance Gallery, Edinburgh, 1995, 1998 and 2005; and The Forum, Ocean Terminal, Leith, in aid of the Bethany Trust, 2004. She travelled extensively in several continents with paints and sketch-book. As well as a series of self-portraits Mackay completed many portraits, including Ronald Fletcher, broadcaster, 1968; the Queen’s Counsel Lionel Daiches, 1979–80; singer Ian Caddy, 1980–1; Professor David Daiches with his brother Lionel, 1988–9; the composer and conductor Emre Araci, 1997; and cellist Harriet Johnson, 2000. Her work was held by collections including the Scottish National Portrait Gallery; London College of Music; Royal Over-Seas League; Scottish Arts Club; Barlinnie Prison; and Geffrye Museum.
mixed media on board, signed, titled and dated 1996 verso framed and under glass image size 134cm x 56cm, overall size 150cm x 73cm Note: Ally (Alasdair Neil Renwick) Thompson, was a Scottish painter of the New Glasgow Boys generation alongside Peter Howson, Ken Currie, Adrian Wisniewski and the late Steven Campbell. Born in Glasgow, he studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1975 to 1980, gaining a B.A. First Class Honours in Fine Art, and a diploma in postgraduate studies with high commendation and a travelling scholarship. In 1989, a solo exhibition of his work at the Barbizon Gallery (Glasgow) was visited by the international art promoter Norbert Binotti, who then brought Thompson to international prominence with a one-man show in New York and major exhibitions in Paris. Ally lived and worked periodically in Provence in the 1990s. He subsequently steadily consolidated his international reputation with exhibitions in Britain, Europe and North America, appearing in galleries such as Flowers East in London and Gallery Albert 1er in Paris. A close friend of Peter Howson, with whom he was a fellow student at the Glasgow School of Art, both men and their work were almost equally unknown when they shared one of their first exhibitions, a two-man show at the Art School itself in 1984. Ally Thompson was naturally shy in new company rather than a bold and forthright salesman of his own work. He painted in several distinctly different styles, from surrealist to abstract to expressionist landscape and much in between, making him hard to categorise and package for promoters and critics. Visiting his studio in the early 1980s Alec Mather, a successful Lanarkshire businessman, was one of the first of several almost surrogate father figures in Thompson's life. He offered to pay Ally twice what he was asking for one his paintings on condition that the young artist gave up his day job as a school teacher. Thompson never looked back creatively. Alec Mather remained a friend, patron and supporter for the rest of the artist's life. Outside of Scotland, through the friendship and support of Norbert Binotti and (after his untimely death) Norbert's brother Claude, Thompson found an invigorating new audience for his work in New York, Paris and the South of France. For all his non-materialist philosophy, Thompson was not above a bit of name-dropping on occasion, and like any Glaswegian boy Ally was suitably astonished to sometimes find himself in the company (and painting collections of) the likes of Bob Geldof, Petula Clark, Richard Jobson, Picasso's son Claude and even France's President Mitterand.
Han Dynasty or later, Ca. 202 BC - AD 220. A gilded camel seal. Such items were traditionally rewarded to the leader of ethnic minorities who swore loyalty to the ruling dynasty.

Ca. AD 200 - 300. A schist relief panel with the seated Buddha attended by Brahma and Indra, as well as two Bodhisattvas. It is an exquisite ensemble of sculptures that emanates an aura of spiritual significance and artistic brilliance. The central figure of the triad portrays the Buddha Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha who attained enlightenment. Sitting in the meditative lotus position, Shakyamuni Buddha exudes an aura of tranquility. The facial features are expertly sculpted, with almond-shaped eyes that convey a profound sense of compassion and wisdom. The finely chiseled nose, gently curved lips, and hair pulled up into a topknot further add to the figure's harmonious countenance. Flanking the central Buddha is Brahma and Indra and two attendant Bodhisattvas, emanating an aura of reverence and devotion. All of these figures are embodying the compassionate ideal of Buddhism, and stand in a poised posture. Adorned in ornate robes that drape gracefully over their bodies, the Buddha figures in the triad are resplendent with richly detailed patterns and textures. The folds and drapery of the garments are skillfully rendered, capturing the subtle movements and fluidity of the fabric. This Triad panel exemplifies the spiritual devotion and artistic mastery of its creator. The harmonious composition and the delicate balance of forms evoke a sense of awe and reverence, inviting contemplation and deepening one's connection to the Buddhist teachings. This triad stands as a testament to the enduring influence of Buddhism and the remarkable artistic legacy it has left behind. Size: 580mm x 540mm; Weight: 78.35kg Provenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly acquired in early 2000s in Japan; previously in 1970s Japanese collection.

Lower Part of the Uniform, ZSU Pants, Multicam Camouflage Pattern, Purchased Independently in 2016/2017.The multicam camouflage pattern is designed for special forces, as it allows soldiers to approach the enemy more closely without being detected, which is why uniforms with this pattern are more expensive. Our close friends, the soldiers we’ve been working with since the very beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine, pass on anything they have to support our efforts and enrich our catalog with interesting items that were used by them on the frontlines. These pants were used by a soldier who served in the "zero zone" (frontline) and were worn in close combat areas. The pants show significant wear, indicating they were frequently used.Overall condition as shown in the photos.

It was after World War II that he established himself in the Rangers side and won four Scottish league championships and four Scottish Cups with the club as a member of its strong defensive unit known as the 'Iron Curtain'.

JIMMY DICKINSON OF ENGLAND, MATCH WORN INTERNATIONAL JERSEY, 15TH APRIL 1950 worn vs. Scotland in the Home Championship match, embroidered crest inscribed SCOTLAND V ENGLAND APRIL 1950, ST. BLAIZE label to interior, number 6 verso, long-sleeve Note: Jimmy Dickinson MBE (1925–1982) is a Portsmouth F.C. legend, with a record total of 764 appearances for the club.'He signed for Portsmouth as a trainee and made his debut in 1946 against Blackburn Rovers. Settling into the side quickly at either wing-half or left-half, he was part of the team that won successive league championships in 1948–49 and 1949–50. His performances earned him a call-up to the England national team. He went on to win 48 caps for England, making him Portsmouth's most capped English player of all time. During his record 845 club appearances for Pompey and his 48 England caps he was never once booked or sent off, earning him the nickname 'Gentleman Jim'.'This shirt was worn during the 1950 Home Championship tie vs. Scotland. It is offered as part of the collection relating to Rangers and Scotland legend, Willie Woodburn, and was gained as a swap.'England once again clinched the Home International Championship—and with it a place in the World Cup finals—with this hard-fought win in front of a massive crowd of 133,250 spectators. It was a very close game with both sides grappling for supremacy.'Match Report as appears in the F.A. Yearbook 1950-51, pages 24-25On April [15th] at Hampden Park, Glasgow, England played Scotland in the last home international of the season, and won back the international championship by a 1-0 victory. Though the teams were very evenly matched. England's slight superiority in finish probably turned the scale. Scotland were, however, unlucky not to force the draw which would have kept them in the World Cup. Scotland attacked strongly at the start and kept the initiative through most of the first-half, Williams making flying saves from the menacing drives of Waddell, Steel and Liddell. In the second-half England's superior power of combination, particularly at wing-half, began to tell. But they still had not found effective form in forcing home their good approach play. The solitary goal of the match came in the 64th minute, when Langton at outside-left cut down the wing and sent a low pass to Bentley, who drove hard into the Scottish net. In the last twenty minutes Scotland attacked strongly, but the English defence stood firm. On the 1949/50 Home Championships,'1949–50 British Home Championship was one of the most significant competitions of the British Home Championship football tournament. This year saw the competition doubling up as Group 1 in the qualifying rounds for the 1950 FIFA World Cup. It was the first time that either England, Wales, Scotland or Ireland (IFA) had entered a World Cup competition. It was also a significant moment in the history of Irish football as it was the last time that the (Northern) Irish Football Association entered a team featuring players born in both Northern Ireland and what is now the Republic of Ireland.
* BENNO SCHOTZ RSA (ESTONIAN 1891 - 1984), THE PRINCE OF GOALKEEPERS (JOHN THOMSON OF CELTIC F.C.),, CIRCA 1968 bronzed resinA bronze of this sculpture is in the collection of Celtic F.C.Note on both Schotz and Thomson:Benno Schotz was born to Jewish parents, Jacob Schotz, a watchmaker, and Cherna Tischa Abramovitch, in Arensburg, Russia (now Kuressaare, Estonia) in 1891. He was educated at the Boys Grammar School of Pärnu, Estonia. Later he studied at the Grossherzogliche Technische Hochschule in Darmstadt, Germany. In 1912, he immigrated to Glasgow, where he gained an engineering diploma from the Royal Technical College and from 1914–23 worked in the drawing office of John Brown and Company, Clydebank shipbuilders while attending evening classes in sculpture at the Glasgow School of Art. Schotz became a full-time sculptor in 1923 and subsequently a member of the Royal Scottish Academy, Head of Sculpture at the Glasgow School of Art (a post he held from 1938 until his retirement in 1961), and later, in 1963, Her Majesty's Sculptor in Ordinary for Scotland. His pupils included Hannah Frank, Paul Zunterstein and Inge King (née Neufeld). His homes at West Campbell Street and later Kirklee Road were a focus for meetings of artists, writers, actors, and politicians. His first solo Glasgow exhibition was at Reid's Gallery in 1926 and his first in London at Alex Reid and Lefevre Ltd (Lefevre Gallery) in 1930. He was also a member of Glasgow Art Club, alongside recently arrived refugee artists Jankel Adler and Josef Herman, for whom he organised local Jewish community support. In 1942 he organised the important 'Jewish Art Exhibition' at the Glasgow Institute as an act of Jewish cultural identity during the Second World War. In 1981 Schotz was made a Freeman of the City of Glasgow and in the same year, Gordon Wright published his autobiography, Bronze in My Blood. During his career, Schotz produced several hundred portraits and compositions including figure compositions, religious sculptures, semi-abstracts and modelled portraits, the majority located in Glasgow and the surrounding area. A major retrospective exhibition of his works was held at the Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh in 1971. He was Life-President of the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts as well as Honorary Member of both the Royal British Society of Sculptors and the Royal Institute of Architects in Scotland. His last sculpture was executed less than six weeks before his death, aged 93. He was a committed Zionist and was buried in Jerusalem. His work is represented in numerous UK collections including The National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh City Art Centre, The Kelvingrove Art Gallery, Aberdeen Galleries, The Scottish National Portrait Gallery, BBC Scotland, The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow Museums & Galleries, The Peoples Palace (Glasgow), The Scottish Jewish Archives Centre, Ben Uri Gallery & Museum (London) and the House of Commons (London). His work is also held in various public collections in Israel. Christie's held a major Studio Sale of Benno Schotz's work in Glasgow in 1997.John Thomson, The Prince of Goalkeepers, is one of the most important figures in the history of Celtic Football Club.Having signed for the team in 1926 at the age of 17, his natural athleticism and brave spirit ensured he would become a mainstay between the sticks. He helped the team to two Scottish Cups and three Glasgow Cups. He would also represent the national side and national select XI four times apiece.Thomson's name will forever be associated with the tragedy that befell him during an Old Firm clash on the 5th September 1931. The match was played at Ibrox in front of 80,000 fans. Early in the 2nd half, Thomson collided with Rangers player Sam English, whilst both going for the ball. Most people assumed the goalkeeper badly injured as he was stretchered off, Chic Geatons taking his place in goal.Upon being transported to the Victoria Infirmary, Thomson would soon be pronounced dead. The death of a young goalkeeper in his prime shocked the footballing world. Beyond that, the tragic loss of a young man's life, only 22 years of age and recently engaged, still stands as amongst the most profound moments in sporting history.40,000 people attended the funeral in his home town of Cardenden, including thousands who travelled from Glasgow, many walking the 55 miles to the Fife village. 101cm wide

There were so many Manchester City players due to that club being one of the few to have fulfilled all their fixtures.The sides were managed by the managers of the England and Scotland at the time – Don Revie for The Football League and Willie Ormond for Glasgow FA. This game was Ormond’s last duty as manager prior to Ally Macleod assuming control of the national team. Wonder how that went?Tueart scored the opening goal for the visitors, with Jardine equalising before King Kenny [Dalglish] got the winner for Glasgow.'
ALEX ROLLO OF CELTIC F.C., RARE AWAY JERSEY, 1950s Umbro Tangeru label, shamrock crest, 2 verso, long-sleeve, with previous Christie's sales tagNote: This rare shirt, also known as the 'Political' or 'Shamrock' shirt, was originally sold by Christie's (believed) lot 105 on 30th March 2000, as per the description below,'A white and green Celtic shirt, No.2, with button-up cotton collar and badge formed as a shamrock The above shirt was worn by Alex Rollo who, as left-back, played a total of 59 times for Celtic between 1948 and 1954'This would also appear to link to another lot 156 sold by Christie's on 15th October 1997, billed as,'A white and green Celtic jersey, No.2, with button-up cotton collar and badge formed as a shamrockThe above jersey was given to the vendor by Alex Rollo who, as a left-back, played a total of 59 times for Celtic between 1948 and 1954.'It is therefore believed that this shirt would have been worn by Rollo at some point between 1952 (it was first unveiled in a friendly vs. Belfast Celtic on 17 May 1952) and him leaving the club in 1954.Interestingly, according to research carried out by A Celtic State of Mind (see the attached article https://acsom.net/the-history-of-the-shamrock-jersey-the-most-sought-after-celtic-shirt-of-the-year/), after unvelieing the shirt in 1952 (when it was actually worn by Belfast Celtic and not the Glasgow team),'The jersey then appeared on the cover of the Celtic programme for the league match against Clyde on 12 September 1953, but it was not an action shot of a player wearing the shamrock shirt, so it is possible that Celtic did not wear it themselves until they faced Kilmarnock on 8 January 1955 in the league. According to the Evening Times (Glasgow) report, which ran with the headline, “TULLY TRICK IN A NEW STRIP, CELTIC JUST MAKE IT,” this was the first time a Celtic team wore the shamrock jersey.'It can therefore be hypothesised that, if the above shirt was Rollo's, he either kept it following the Belfast game (he played, and it is feasible he swapped after), or indeed, he kept it from training (the programme vs. Clyde being evidence that these shirts were worn, albeit, apparently not during competitive ties).

* MARGARET MORRIS (BRITISH 1891 - 1980), NUDE COMPOSITION 1913 graphite on paper, titled label versomounted, framed and under glassimage size 16cm x 16cm, overall size 43cm x 32cmExhibition label verso: The Art of Margaret Morris Exhibition, April 1984, Cyril Gerber Fine Art, Glasgow.Note: Dancer, choreographer, artist and writer, daughter of the artist William Bright Morris and wife of the artist J D Fergusson. She was a child stage prodigy who did ballet training at Theatre Royal in London, later studying with Raymond Duncan, the dancer Isadora’s brother. Keen to extend the expressive power of dance, she invented her own technique which she began teaching prior to World War I in her own Margaret Morris Movement school, staging her own shows. In 1913 during a Paris tour she met Fergusson and they formed a creative partnership. Between the wars more Margaret Morris Movement schools opened in France and Britain and the Morris-Fergusson artistic circle widened enormously. After returning to Glasgow on the outbreak of World War II the pair played a big role in forming the New Art Club and New Scottish Group of painters, and Morris founded the Celtic Ballet which in 1960 developed into the Scottish National Ballet. Fergusson encouraged his wife’s artistic talents and she emerged as a clever, decorative painter and draughtsman, adept at catching a likeness in movement. Among her books was The Art of J D Fergusson, 1974. The first comprehensive show of her work occurred at Cyril Gerber Fine Art, Glasgow, 1984, which held a centenary show in 1991. After Morris’ death her dance work continued through the International Association of Margaret Morris Movements in many countries.
FRANK CRAWFORD PENFOLD (AMERICAN 1849 - 1921), SKETCH - WOMAN READING A FRENCH BOOK oil on panel, signedframedimage size 20cm x 16cm, overall size 28cm x 23cm Note: artist, teacher, lecturer, known for marine/seascape, genre, landscape, and portrait paintings, especially of the Brittany region of France. Penfold came from a family of artists, the son of the portrait painter, William Penfold (English born-American, 1827-1875), who was active in Lockport and Buffalo, New York and his mother, Maria Chubbuck (née Chapman) Penfold (1828-1919) married September 19, 1847, was also an accomplished artist. He had six younger siblings to include, brothers, John Penfold (1850- ), William Chapman Penfold (1853-1928) who became a fresco artist in Erie, PA, Charles Chubbuck Penfold (1854-1911) who designed engraved and manufactured fine jewelry in Buffalo, NY, beginning in 1872, and sisters Ida Parmelia Penfold-Thayer (1854-1934), Lillian "Lillie" Penfold-Baker (1857-1915) and Marie Dollie Penfold (1867-1927). Frank’s father originally wanted him to become an engraver, but one day at school Frank drew a sketch of the old schoolhouse in Lockport, NY in the back of an atlas. The principal at the time, Mr. Porter was charmed with the sketch and asked Frank to paint it on canvas. Frank and his younger brother used to clean up their father’s studio every evening, washing brushes and palettes, and unknown to his father, saved enough paint from his father’s palette to finish the piece. Mr. Porter was pleased with the painting and had it framed and exhibited. From that time forward Frank trained with his father in portraiture and other painting styles. One of his earliest known portraits was of "Addison Roberts" of Hornell, NY, husband of Marie (née Helmer) Roberts, painted in 1873. It was was also noted on the back of the painting that Penfold was listed as an artist in Buffalo and Paris. Frank had moderate success while living in Buffalo but decided to further his studies abroad. Around 1877, he travelled to France and later settled in Pont Aven, Brittany where he also taught in the artists’ colony. He studied in Finistère, Brittany, France and also trained at the Académie Julian in Paris in 1884. He occasionally returned to Buffalo, NY and in 1891, taught a class at the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, Albright Art Gallery. On November 22, 1897, Frank married Jeannie "Jennie" Gerard (née Green-Wells [Wells adopted last name]) Redfern-Corbett-Penfold (1849-1921) at her home in Johnson Park, Buffalo, NY with whom he had an adopted daughter (from Jeannie's brother, Charles Edward Green, whom she and Frank later legally adopted on June 3, 1912), named Jane "Jennie" May Green Penfold-Harkness-Pinnington (1892-1970). Frank Penfold remained an influential figure in the Buffalo art scene and also helped organize the Municipal Art League in Chicago, IL in 1901. He was a member of the Buffalo Society of Artists and served as President in 1896, Buffalo, NY. He alternated between two homes, one in Pont Aven, France where he maintained a studio in Concarneau, Finistère, Bretagne, France and another at 32 Johnson Park, Buffalo, NY.
GEORGE HOUSTON RSA RSW (SCOTTISH 1869 - 1947), GLEN ORCHY oil on canvas, signed framed image size 70cm x 90cm, overall size 86cm x 106cm Note: George Houston was born in Dalry, Ayrshire. He was a prolific artist in both oils and watercolours. He specialized in the landscapes of Ayrshire and Argyll and his exceptional talent lay in creating the atmosphere, climatic conditions and season of each scene. He sometimes worked on a large scale but unlike many artists, the quality of his work remained constant. His style was not influenced by modernist trends and is best described as "late Impressionism". Houston achieved substantial commercial success, which funded a comfortable lifestyle for his ever growing family. He received widespread critical acclaim and was admired by his contemporaries for the apparent ease with which he painted. He only started painting professionally in his late thirties but "quality" came naturally to him as it usually does for truly "gifted" painters. Houston loved fishing and he loved country life. This love of the natural environment has always been (and remains) clear and obvious to the many who appreciate his paintings.
