This is the larger of the two "Craster" Donald McIntyre paintings we have for sale.
Donald McIntyre was one of the great British landscape and coastal artists of the twentieth century. His work demonstrates a strong post-impressionist style, often in his signature palette, and continues to command a strong following.
Although often thought of as a Welsh artist McIntyre was actually born in Leeds, Yorkshire in 1923. His parents were Scottish, and they returned to live in Scotland when Donald was very young, so he was brought up among the mountains, the sky and the sea of north-west Scotland. It was here that, perhaps unknowingly, his sense of color was formed. It is this palette which later distinguished him from the other artists of Wales, where he lived and painted for most of his adult life. The best of his work contains his signature colors, layers of mauve, hues of bright turquoise, flashes of burnt orange. His paintings have a light and a life about them that make them joyful, uplifting and modern.
As a young man McIntyre attended Scarborough College and Skipton Grammar School. He did not intend to earn his living as an artist and so trained to become a dentist. He was however always a natural draftsman and whilst he was training at the Glasgow Dental Hospital, he was also taking evening classes at the nearby Glasgow School of Art, studying under James Wright RSW at Garelochhead. Having qualified as a dentist, McIntyre went on to serve in the army and later became an Educational Health Officer. In 1960 he moved with his family to Tregarth, a small village in the hills above Bangor in north Wales. For some years he visited remote schools as a Health Officer and painting only in his spare time. However, he continued to study, and received instruction from the Canadian Impressionist Gyrth Russell. Then, at the age of forty, he committed himself to art as his full-time occupation and his career began to take off. He worked very hard and brought to his painting the exuberant spirit of his Scottish upbringing and a sound appreciation of European art.
The late Sir Kyffin Williams RA said of McIntyre; ‘It is easy to see why he has succeeded for the spontaneous charm of his pictures and their unworried clarity make them eminently desirable. Mentally as well as professionally, Donald McIntyre is a true artist.’
Although he has painted a variety of subject McIntyre always returned to coastal scenes of the British Isles, particularly of Scotland and Wales. For many years he would travel the coast in his campervan, with his wife Lauren in support, and would make numerous sketches ‘en plein air’, which would become the basis of paintings to be completed back in his studio at home. He spent many summers painting on the island of Iona, where the light and colors perfectly suited his palette and style.
Donald McIntyre died in January 2009 after a period of ill health, during which he remained devoted to his painting.
McIntyre was a member of the Royal Academy, the Royal Scottish Academy, Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolor, the Royal Cambrian Academy, the Royal Society of Marine Artists and the Pastel Society.
His work has been exhibited at the leading London galleries, including the Royal Academy, the Royal Scottish Academy, the Royal Cambrian Academy, and the Royal National Eisteddfod. He exhibited at the Attic Gallery in Swansea for many years, where the proprietors were loyal patrons.
Today he has a reputation as an upholder of the Scottish Colorist tradition which has made his work collectable well beyond Wales, or indeed Scotland. His work is represented in several public collections, including the National Library of Wales, the Welsh Contemporary Art Society, the Welsh Arts Council, the University of St. Andrews, Atkinson Art Gallery, Southport, Newport Art Gallery and the collection of Birkenhead Art Gallery. His works are also part of many distinguished private collections including that of London University, the US Embassy in London and the late HRH the Duke of Edinburgh.

This original oil painting by Donald McIntyre in entitled ‘Stormy Day, Craster, Northumberland’. It depicts the small village, about eight miles from Alnwick, on the east coast of Northumberland, with the waves crashing into the harbor. At the end of the harbor wall, we see the remains of a tower that was once a much taller building which was part of the overhead equipment used to convey the local stone from where it was quarried to boats in the harbor. The end of the harbor wall stands almost silhouetted against the bright flashed of the rough sea. There are two or three simple wooden fishing vessels pulled up onto the shore, leaving no boats in the water. This storm was perhaps anticipated. The modest houses on the shoreline seem to huddle together in the path of the elements. The palette here is typical McIntyre, with sharp signature notes of aquamarine and yellow, contrasting against the earthy tones of the shoreline. This is a piece with both gravitas, flair and spontaneity.

Donald McIntyre
British artist Donald McIntyre’s seascape paintings capture the essence of coastal shorelines through vivid compositions imbued with a calm simplicity. McIntyre's work embodies the Scottish Colourist tradition of landscape art. He places the viewer at the boundary of civilization and nature, with a strong focus on the natural scenery, as the images of manmade structures seem to fade into the background.
McIntyre was born in Leeds, Yorkshire. He studied dentistry at the Glasgow Dental Hospital and also attended night classes at the Glasgow School of Art. While working as a dentist, he served in the British Army, taught art classes and painted in his spare time.
In the late 1950s, McIntyre left dentistry to take up painting full time. He traveled throughout the British Isles, painting scenes of shorelines and countrysides, as well as occasional interior settings and portraits. The seascapes McIntyre created are a favorite among Scottish art collectors.
McIntyre exhibited at many galleries throughout the United Kingdom before his death in 2009. Many public and private collections contain his works, including the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth — as well as galleries in Birkenhead, England and Newport, Wales.

Nancy Bailey was born in 1913 and started her working life at the age of 15. As a teenager she used her father’s camera to take photographs of West Country views, many of which were used to produce postcards, which sold throughout the country. This early talent demonstrated her knowledge and appreciation of light and composition that later enabled her to create the beautiful paintings for which she became internationally renowned. Her family moved frequently throughout the south west, before settling in Ireland where for thirteen years she produced high quality marquetry pictures, which sold all over the world.
Nancy only started painting seriously when she returned to Cornwall in her fifties. Her painting career, though started somewhat late, continued over forty years. Nancy worked with a palette knife and never used a brush. This gives her work its distinctive texture and captures the landscape and light. Nancy became acclaimed as one of the leading palette knife artists in the UK.
Although Nancy travelled widely, including a safari trip to South Africa with the acclaimed nature artist David Shepherd her best work is arguably of the coasts and rivers of the West Country, which she loved so much.
Nancy died in 2012, since when demand for her original works has increased.
