About the Item
Watercolour by David Birtwhistle. Titled, "Barn cat”.
Signed lower left. Glazed and framed in gold coloured frame.
David Birtwhistle was born in 1947, the son of a Methodist minister. David was educated at Kingswood School, Bath and Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge. He was apprenticed as a (block) printmaker to artist Graham Clarke 1965-68. He studied etching at Falmouth School of Art under Bryan Ingham after he had travelled in Italy where he sold his first drawings (1966). He married Linda Exall in 1970 and they have two sons, a daughter and seven grandchildren. A qualified architect, he practised in Worcester 1972-1980. In partnership with Michael Westby he opened his own gallery, “framed”, in Friar Street, Worcester in November 1979. Upon Michael’s retirement in 2000 the gallery became “Birties of Worcester”. In June 2013 the gallery closed so that Linda might retire.
Since his first exhibition, in Greenwich, 1970, his work has appeared in galleries up and down the land, in his own exhibitions and with societies such as the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours and the Society of Architect-Artists of which he was a Fellow. David has undertaken commissions for many distinguished clients and his watercolours have been reproduced as cards ( Lance Ranson ), prints ( Rosensteil’s ) and calendars, Bemrose UK of Derby and, more recently, Rose of Colchester, (Around Britain, Britain in Watercolour and the David Birtwhistle Collection).
Then, in 1990, “Birties of Worcester”, as the Birtwhistles’ own publishing company, commenced production of cards and reproduction prints. These proved very popular and attracted an international following and increased awareness in the original work. Commissions have included brochures for businesses and practices, CD/record/tape sleeves, display panels and book covers. In 2001 the book “The Spirit of Worcestershire” was published featuring over thirty of David’s watercolour paintings. He has continued to work with clients such as the National Trust developing his depictions of historic architecture and landscape.
An Honorary Fellow of the University of Worcester, David’s other interests have included the Elgar Birthplace Trust (house committee), Swan Theatre Worcester Ltd (board), Abbeyfield Worcester Ltd. (trustee), Headway Worcester (president), St Johns Bell Tower Appeal (patron), Pershore Arts Association (patron), Worcester Snoezelen Project (trustee) and energetic veteran membership of Worcester Rowing Club.
David Birtwhistle’s work is to be found in one royal and many public and private collections throughout the world.

- Henry Coombes, Sculpture Entitled "Umbrella" 2005; Mixed Media B 1977By Henry CoombesLocated in London, GBHenry Coombes, British b.1977- "Umbrella" 2005; mixed media, oil paint on found umbrella, 84cm long, (ARR) Provenance: Purchased from Sorcha Dallas Gallery, Glasgow by the previous owner. Henry wrote: “The Umbrella was in my studio in 2005, being rainy Glasgow, I used it, left it open to dry. I was painting a series of oil paintings you can find on my website, ( oil painting section) Glen Golly, Ponker, Lady offering Cock to Fox. I loved what was happening on the pallet more than what was happening on the canvas. So the end of every day I would scrape it off and smear it on the umbrella. I am somewhat superstitious I believe in the notion of bad luck, I was afraid the open umbrella would upset the painting gods. So the ritual of putting the paint on the umbrella was to change into something new that would appease the spirits of bad luck, and bring good fortune to the painting. Paint is a fluid process will ultimately can not control, and if we try to hard it becomes dull illustration. I teach art in prison I see painting holding together the lives of life prisoners. I have huge faith in its power and same time I am humbled by it every time I go into the studio”. Henry Coombes’ distinctive art practice has received wide recognition since his graduation from Glasgow School of Art in 2002. He has a multi-disciplinary practice working in painting, collage, drawing, sculpture and film. Earlier film works like ‘Laddy and the Lady’ and ‘The Bedfords’ explored ideas of class, hierarchy, hunting for sport and Victorian...Category
