Lance Cattermole (1898-1992) St John's College, Cambridge Gouache 37 x 50 cm Lance Cattermole was born in Ireland in 1898 to a long line of artists. At the age of 24, Cattermole began his studies at the Central School of Arts and Crafts (1922-3), before continuing at the prestigious Slade School of fine art (1923–6), under such artists as Henry Tonks and Philip Wilson Steer. As well as various travel posters, notably advertising rail travel in England, he also went on to create numerous paintings of famous military figures, many of which are now on display at the National Army Museum. This vibrant gouache was painted for an unknown purpose, perhaps for a guidebook cover. It presents an idyllic view of the River Cam running through St John's College. The orange-browns of the tree leaves suggest autumn, but the beaming sun and blue water are more evocative of a bucolic summer day: the perfect painting to brighten up any room.

A Fishing Boat at Sea, Late Mid-Century Gouache on Paper
Located in Cotignac, FR
French gouache on paper of a boat travelling the seas. The work is unsigned but dated 22/11/70. Presented in simple gilt frame with handcut mount. A really engaging and powerful painting. The artist has managed to capture the swell of the sea, the movement of the boat listing gently to one side, the slightly rusty hull, the moody sky filled with all the seagulls following behind, which suggests it might be a fishing boat. They have used a limited but strong colour palette, blues, blacks and greys and then just to highlight and catch the eye a splash of green to represent the starboard or right bow light.
