Ronald Lowe was a Yorkshire man by birth, but from 1959 lived and worked in Wales, and established himself as one of the leading Welsh artists of the twentieth century. He studied at Leeds College of Art 1949-1955, with Richard Macdonald and Keith Lucas, and then in London. He served in the Army as an education officer, then moved to Wales and continued his career in education. He taught first in a school in Haverfordwest and then as a lecturer in the History of Art in both the University of Aberystwyth and the University of Swansea. The artist Maurice Sheppard was one of his students and there was a close working relationship between the two artists, with Sheppard frequently visiting Lowe’s studio in Pembrokeshire. Lowe also became Her Majesty’s Inspector of Art for Wales. When not teaching Lowe was painting and his open expansive style developed over the years and brought him much recognition, He took part in many group shows, including the Royal Academy and the Howard Roberts’ Gallery, Cardiff. He also had many one-man exhibitions, starting with Dillwyn Gallery, Swansea. These were mainly in Wales, but also in America. Today his work is found in many public collections, including the Welsh National collection and University College, Swansea. Lowe loved to paint landscapes, to capture the beauty of scenes from his native Yorkshire and Wales. His later works include stunning and dramatic views, sometimes from an aerial perspective, of which this is an excellent example. © Big Sky Fine Art This original work depicts the Dales of northern England, from the perspective of height and movement. We feel we are strapped to the underbelly of a large bird, soaring above! There is a real sense of speed, as the ground swirls below, coming into and out of focus. The prominent colors on the ground are rich brows and soft yellows, with wisps of blue, purple and orange. Darker browns mark out hedges, trees and shrubs. The sky in the distance in painted in the same palette of soft hues and the overall impression is a sense of wonderment.

Frank Egginton was a British contemporary landscape artist, synonymous with watercolours of the Irish countryside, particularly county Donegal. He came from an artistic family, with his father being the well-known artist Wycliffe Egginton (1875-1951), and his nephew was the artist Robert Egginton. His daughter and son in law have run The Gallery in Dunfanaghy, Co. Donegal for many years. Frank (officially Francis John) Egginton was born in Wallasey in the county of Cheshire on 10 November 1908. When he was a baby the family moved to Newton Abbott in Devon, as his father had been appointed headmaster of the College of Art there. Frank was educated at Newton College, and then Newton Abbott College of Art, and Exeter School of Art. He then spent some time perfecting his drawing whilst working in an architect’s office. In 1921 the family moved again to Teignmouth in Devon. In 1930 Egginton visited Co. Donegal and painted some pictures for a businessman friend of his father’s. He developed a love of the west Irish...

View of Dunoon on the Clyde
Located in Hillsborough, NC
Scottish artist Robert Carrick (1829-1904) is renowned for his landscape and figurative paintings in oil and watercolor. This painting features detailed drawings of figures in the foreground with wagon, and the town and scenery in the background, painted over in watercolor in rich raw umber and red-brown tones in the foreground and blue green tones in the background. Carrick showed promise at a young age, exhibiting his work at the Royal Academy age 16. He was a member of the Royal Institute. This two-toned watercolor work has detailed figures, wagon with hay in the forefront above a view of Dunoon town near Glasgow as it was long ago. Signed by the artist, lower left with an inscription that reads: 'View of Dunoon, Argyllshire drawn by Robert Carrick, Glasgow, for David Allan'. Verso includes a copy of the same inscription. Saltire Gallerie replaced the cracked and dirty plain glass with art glass and added an acid-free paper behind the work. While doing this work we found an art giclee, included with the painting. Presented in a patterned wooden frame with art glass. Dunoon was a thriving town on the river at the time of this work, and later became part of Glasgow. The view from above the town is a popular one, as Saltire Gallerie has another view of Dunoon from above by Scottish artist Patrick Downie...
