About the Item

Impressionist/Post impressionist style painting 'Kirkton Bridge, Balquhidder' by Scottish contemporary artist JD Henderson, is a Monet-like image of a Scottish bridge in Balquhidder, the Clan homeland of McLaren in central Scotland. Dated 1995 (verso) and signed by the artist in the lower right corner, the painting is on canvas with oil paint in a new gold frame. JD Henderson is described as a 20th century Scottish Colourist and a landscape artist, using impressionism and post impressionism styles. 'Kirkton Bridge' demonstrates the Colourist trend, but also broader brushstrokes and thick applications of paint from post impressionism that gives the subject matter priority over fleeting naturalistic color and light. The actual bridge and water colors may or may not be the natural color, but it is the use of color and paint strokes that brings the bridge and surrounding landscape to vivid life and perspective. Henderson has been painting since the mid 20th century. His paintings have been exhibited in the Royal Scottish Academy and exhibited in galleries in Glasgow and elsewhere. The frame, style and size are matched by another JD Henderson work available for sale, 'Sunlit Path'. 'Sunlit Path' is a richly colored garden and pathway in the same technique as 'Kirkton Bridge'. A third painting available for sale, 'Middleton Farm, Comrie' also by JD Henderson, is a landscape of fields and traditional cottage that would go well in a grouping with the other two. All are available at present by the same seller, Saltire Gallerie. Each is available for sale individually, as a pair, or trio, with savings on multiple purchases. All three richly-colored oil paintings were acquired in Scotland and imported to the US by Saltire Gallerie. 'Kirkton Bridge, Balquihidder' and 'Sunlit Path' had glass coverings when they were acquired. Saltire Gallerie removed these and re-framed with matching gold frames . This impacted the direct representations of color and broad post impressionist brushstrokes, making them more visible and alive. All three paintings are in excellent condition, all painted in the 1990s, two presented in the same sized matching new frames and the third in its likely original compatible frame. No damage or defect has been detected. Ready to hang!
