This absolutely stunning large Scottish Edwardian Impressionist landscape oil painting is by noted artist Alexander Jamieson. It was painted circa 1910 and entitled Evening on the Lake. The composition is looking across a lake to fields and a small hamlet and hills beyond. The summer sky with patches of blue is magnificently reflected in the water. The details and impasto are beautiful. This is an excellent Scottish Edwardian landscape and a superb example of Jamieson's work.

This lovely Belgian Impressionist figurative oil painting is by noted artist Henri Moreau. Although Belgian by birth, Moreau spent many years in France, moving to Paris in 1920 and one can see the influence of the French Impressionists in his work. In this painting, painted circa 1920, two young ballerinas are putting on their ballet shoes, one seated, one standing. Their tutus are a mass of froth around them. There is a table with two lovely gleaming red bowls and a vivid green bottle. In the mirror above we can see one ballerina reflected. There are such rich and vivid tones and the brushwork is just superb. Ballerina paintings are always popular but this is a particularly fine one and an excellent example of Moreau's work.
This lovely British ballet oil painting is by noted artist Elizabeth Bridge. Painted in 1951, the composition is a male and female ballet dancer on stage doing a Pas de Deux. The light catches them beautifully and the green background zings off the canvas. A lovely ballet oil painting by a noted female artist.

Of all the paintings we have, this one by Annie Swynnerton, seems the most appropriate to celebrate Bodhi Day - the Day Siddartha sat under a Bodhi tree in India and meditiated until he became enlightened, roughly 2500 years ago. This day is celebrated by Buddhists across the globe. This portrait of Emma Woods was painted in 1895, the year before she died, aged 90 and she looks so serene and at peace. Peace of mind is everything.

Portrait of Emma Woods
This stunning British Victorian portrait oil painting is by noted female artist Annie Louisa Swynnerton. The sitter is Emma Woods, nee King (1806-1896). Emma was the wife of Samuel Woods (1808-1891), Quaker merchant. She was also the daughter of Frederick Benjamin Lautenschlager who adopted the surname King (1781-1859), wholesale grocer, tea merchant and sugar refiner of London and his wife Emma Austin. The portrait was painted in 1895, the year before Emma died at the age of 90. It is a bust length portrait of Emma by a window, a landscape beyond. She is wearing a black dress, lace shawl and hat and has a broach at her neck. Swynnerton has very sympathetically captured the beauty of an older woman's face in wonderful detail. Illuminated from the window, the light really enhances her pale blue eyes - similar to other portraits such as Illusions, The Southing of the Sun and Sense of Sight. This is a superb British Victorian portrait by a fantastic female artist and an excellent example of Swynnerton's work.

This charming British Victorian dog portrait is by renown animal artist Samuel Fulton. Painted circa 1900 and behind glass, the composition is of a Springer Spaniel sat on some straw outside with a wall behind them. The spaniel is liver and white coloured with a predominantly brown face and ears with white on its muzzle and white legs and tummy. She is wearing a collar and gazing directly at the artist/viewer. Fulton has perfectly captured her soft fur, fluffy ears and sweet nature. This is a lovely British Victorian dog portrait oil painting and if you love dogs, how could you resist?

The spaniel depicted was the previous vendor's mother's dog.
Our previous dog, Woody, was very similar to the dog in this lovely painting. We have several paintings of dogs on our website as we can't resist either.
This sumptuous Scottish oil painting is by noted artist Robert Hope. It was most recently part of the Paisley Art Institute Collection, formerly held by the Paisley Museum and Art Galleries. It was exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy in 1919 and painted close to this date. The painting is a seated portrait of a woman in profile in a garden. She is holding up a golden apple to a beautiful peacock on the wall behind her. She is wearing a stunning golden dress with blue sash and her auburn hair is up in a bun. The peacock's tail is draped behind her and he is looking back at the golden apple. Yet it is the golden apple that is the focus of attention for the peacock, woman and viewer, an apple selected from red and gold apples in the nearby basket and perhaps offered up to the peacock. The Scottish painter delivers a beautiful exercise in iridescent colours echoing from the woman’s dress, golden with blue sash, to the peacock tail and body colour. The bold brushwork on the whole painting is superb and the vibrant colours are magnificent. This is a stunning painting with excellent provenance from the Royal Scottish Academy 1919 and the Paisley Art Collection and a superb example of Robert Hope's work.
