We are finally packed and ready for the Cambridge Art Fair. We have been fans of the Scottish Artist Dame Elizabeth Blackadder RSA RA for a long time and presently have five fabulous early paintings for sale from the 1960,s and they can all be seen on our ELIZABETH BLACKADDER pages. We will have 3 at the Cambridge Art Fair so pop along and see what we have on the stand. They include a work exhibited at the RA in the Summer Exhibition.We also have a large oil painting for sale by her husband and fellow Scottish Artist John Houston and while this is not going to Cambridge it can be seen on the website.

New John Knapp-Fisher watercolour paintings -Coming Soon

Two new John Knapp-Fisher watercolours will be added to the website in the coming weeks. These are early works from 1960 - the first year he became a professional artist- and are in fantastic condition. They are currently being remounted to ensure the condition stays good and both are signed and have the location and a hand written dedication verso. They are much larger than his later work.

Knapp-Fisher's work can almost be grouped into 4 phases.

1. Post Theatre design from 1960 - These works date from 1960 and depict landscapes in Sussex, Kent ,London and the home counties.

2. The East Coast era.  For a number of years he toured the East coast in a sea going vessel painting as he went. Many of these depict Suffolk.

3. The Pembrokeshire era. This is the bulk of his output right up until his death earlier this year.

4. The South African work. These date from the 1970's when he and his partner spent much time there.

...............................................................which ever the era we think his work is wonderful!

John Knapp - Fisher

We presently have a lovely collection of 3 John  Knapp - Fisher watercolours for sale . They date from the early 1970's and are all in good condition . Since his passing , earlier this year, the auction prices for his work just seem to go up and up. I notice that last weekend in the Rogers Jones and Co Welsh sale that watercolours were making £4,000 inc. com.  He is certainly an artist to watch! We love his work .

Clare Winsten's work in major Ben Uri London exhibition.

We are delighted  that the Clare Winsten oil that we sourced and supplied to The Ben Uri Gallery is now on show in their fantastic centenary exhibition "Out of Chaos"at Somerset House , London. It hangs along side Bomberg's and Girtler's "Merry-go-round" and looks like it has finally come home. Well done Ben Uri ! View more work by Clare Winsten here on her artist pages. Click here to visit " Out of Chaos"
