James Williamson Bell (English), Blackbird, Woodblock, C1980
About the Item
James Williamson-Bell (1938-2010), Blackbird, Dated 1980, Woodcut Limited Edition 18/50.
James Williamson Bell was a native of Wallsend, Newcastle and began his working life in the Tyneside ship-building industry. Working as a draughtsman at Swan Hunter it wasn’t until 1974 that he took the decision to leave the shipyard to pursue a career in art.
He soon mastered painting and drawing in mixed media as well as various printmaking techniques. His subjects included the industrial landscapes of the northeast as well as wildlife.
Bell was elected to the Society Of Wildlife Artists in 1976 producing finely detailed studies of birds and mammals and gaining many commissions.
As his reputation grew he was able to travel more widely spending many months in China. It was there he developed a love of oriental brush painting, a technique that was to shape his later work.
Bell often exhibited in France, winning Silver and Gold Awards at the Societe des Artistes Paris Salon and the Academie Europeane des Beaux Arts. He also exhibited in New York, South Korea, Nairobi and China, and showed annually with The Society Of Wildlife Artists.

- Original Oil Painting by the English Artist James R. WebbBy James WebbLocated in Vancouver, British ColumbiaAn atmospheric oil painting depicting a seaside with sunlit high sand dunes in the forefront and in Stark contrast a dark stormy sky in the background with seagulls overhead. Small sailing ships can be seen in the distance. Climbing the dunes is a shepherdess and her small flock of sheep grazing on meagre offerings along the dunes. A young couple can also be seen sitting on the beach in the background. The painting is in its original carved and gilded frame. Signed James Webb and dated 18_7 on the bottom right hand corner of the canvas. Why the artist omitted the "decade" digit and put an underscore instead is a mystery. The painting is set in an intricately carved gilded frame which has been professionally restored. James R Webb...Category
