Samuel John 'Lamorna' Birch
Springtime, River Teviot Scotland, 1927 Watercolour Landscape

1927

About the Item

Watercolour and gouache on paper, dated '1927' and signed lower left Image size: 12 1/2 x 19 3/8 inches (31.75 x 49.25 cm) Mounted and framed Provenance The Collection of Jill and John Fairchild Label on reverse from The Jerram Gallery, Wiltshire This wonderful landscape champions the River Teviot in all of its splendour. The River Teviot, or Teviot Water, is a river found in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland. Birch's life was intrinsically linked to rivers; as a young child ill health forced him to leave his place of birth to recuperate at the home of a river bailiff and it was here that he was introduced to fly-fishing. It was also here that he began sketching landscapes and river landscapes remained a continuous focus of his work throughout his life. Dame Laura Knight, a great friend of Birch, wrote that he was a 'passionate fisherman, and is sometimes called 'The Fisherman Artist'.... His favourite path would be beside the river and his chosen task to capture the gleam dancing on the ripples'. Birch often created landscapes of the Scottish highlands and countryside. He travelled around England and Scotland looking specifically for new fishing rivers to paint.
