Jamieson: was an English painter who, after a holiday to the Highlands of Scotland became obsessed with painting highland landscapes, becoming one of the most prolific artists of his time. So fashionable in fact that he was contracted to paint exclusively for various employers. As a consequence, Jamieson painted under several pseudonyms to enable him to sell more paintings without his employers finding out. His aliases include J. McGregor, Graham Williams, Henry Stewart and (as in this case) W. Richards. There were others too. He started using watercolours, but soon progressed to oils. His style is very Victorian, but he is best known for his multicoloured skies, bursting with light and power over gentle bodies of water.Shop Open: 10.00am - 6.00pm Monday-Saturday (Closed Sundays)Height is 62cm (24.4inches)
