John Dalzell Kenworthy ARCA (5 Nov 1858 - 4 Mar 1954) was an internationally acclaimed artist, sculptor and writer who was born at Whitehaven into a prominent West Cumbrian family. JD Kenworthy was a noted Cumberland artist, who lived at Seacroft House, St Bees, a coastal village south of Whitehaven. He painted both portraits and landscapes, in oil and watercolour in the 50 years centred on the turn of the twentieth century. He was an associate of the Royal Cambrian Academy (1914) and he exhibited at the Royal Academy in London, as well as at galleries across Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool. He travelled to paint in Scotland and France, where he became particularly well known. He also was a keen angler, and wrote a book in 1933 called 'Fisherman's Philosophy', in which he discusses Scottish salmon and loch trout, and fishing on the French Mediterranean coast. Kenworthy's works are held in the public collections of the Beacon Museum and Helena Thompson Museum. JD Kenworthy's portraits include two of 1st World War veterans, AJ Wandless a Master Mariner and Whitehaven war hero Abraham Acton. He also painted portraits of other notable people, including the Mayor of Whitehaven, Reverend Rees Keene, Dr James Irving Lace,[6] Justices of the Peace James Gibson Dees and Alderman Joseph Braithwaite and one of the aero chocolate girls Rosina Bacharach née Grispo. He also painted his housekeeper Mrs Elizabeth Dixon and a local school girl Dorothy Shackley. Amongst his landscape paintings is a painting called the Potato Harvest and several Scottish landscape views including one of Loch Ederline, near Ford Argyll, which unsurprisingly has a good reputation for fishing.He was a Justice of the Peace (1919) and President of the West Cumberland Club and Whitehaven Art Club (1948).

Guy Péne du Bois Oil on Canvas Painting of the French Gardener, Dated 1929
By Guy Pène Du Bois
Located in New York, NY
Guy Pène du Bois, 1884 - 1958 French Gardener, 1929 Oil on canvas Signed and inscribed: Pere Martin/Guy Pène du Bois/1929 Provenance: The Estate of Guy Pène du Bois Below is an excerpt from Guy Péne du Bois diary titled 'Artists Say the Silliest Things': “Our landlord and gardener, Pere Martin, who owned a considerable amount of land thereabouts, had been a butcher in the Batignolles section of Paris during the war. [WWI]. He was called hard and miserly in the neighborhood, a too shrewd bargainer, but he accepted two francs and hour, then eight cents in our money, to work the garden. He could be shrewd. When Kellogg was signing the peace pact in Paris, a sham battle of aeroplanes clouded the sky above us. Old Pere Martin rested on his hoe and pointed up, shrugging his shoulders with clownish exaggeration, ‘Monsieur Kellogg.’ It typified the talk on war of the countryside.
