George Denholm Armour was a British painter. He was born in Waterside, Lanarkshire, Scotland on 30 January 1864. He grew up in Liverpool and went to school in Fife. He graduated from the University of St Andrews and the Edinburgh College of Art. Armour moved to Tangiers, Morocco, to paint and buy horses. When his money ran out, he moved to London and shared a studio with Phil May. He met Joseph Crawhall on a hunting and painting holiday, and they both ran a stud farmhouse in Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire, England. In 1898, he got married, and Crawhall was his best man at the wedding. He did illustrations for The Graphic, Punch and Country Life. In 1910, he studied military equestrianism at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Austria. In 1913, he became an honorary member of the Meadowbrook Polo Club. During the First World War, he commanded the remount depot in Salonika from 1917 to 1919. When his wife died in 1924, he remarried to Miss Violet Burton. They lived in Malmesbury. Armour then became a member of the Royal Scottish Academy. He died in Wiltshire on 17 February, 1949. Some of his paintings are owned by the City of Glasgow, the National Trust, the Aberdeen Art Gallery, the National Galleries of Scotland and the University of Edinburgh.

Robin Bird Snowy Branch Berries Wildlife Watercolour Painting
Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
Title: Robin Bird Snowy Branch Berries Wildlife Watercolour Painting Artist: L W Rowe, 20th century Medium: watercolour and gouache on paper, unframed Size: 10 x 8 height x width in inches Signature: signed lower left, L W R Stamped verso: no stamp visible from the images provided Provenance: private collection Condition: good overall vintage condition. The sheet shows light age toning, handling marks, minor surface wear and slight edge wear. There is some marking and discolouration to the reverse. The painted surface remains bright, charming and highly decorative. Description: A charming signed watercolour and gouache painting by L W Rowe, depicting a robin perched on a snowy branch with red berries and autumn leaves. The bird is shown in profile, with its distinctive orange-red breast, soft brown wings and alert dark eye carefully picked out against a muted pale green background. The subject has strong natural history and decorative appeal, combining British wildlife, winter atmosphere and botanical detail. The artist uses a lively mixture of transparent watercolour and thicker white gouache to suggest snow resting on the branches. This gives the painting a pleasing sense of texture and seasonal charm. The robin is delicately modelled, with fine brushwork used to describe the feathers, wing markings and rounded form of the body. Small red berries add bright points of colour and balance beautifully with the warm tones of the bird’s breast. The composition is simple but effective, placing the robin centrally on the diagonal branch while leaving space around the figure. This gives the work a quiet, peaceful quality and makes it especially easy to place within an interior. The winter subject also gives it particular appeal for country house interiors, nature lovers, bird collectors and seasonal displays. This piece would appeal to collectors of bird paintings, robin artworks, British wildlife watercolours...
