      JIM NICHOLSON (1924 - 1996) Port Ramsay - Isle of

      Est: £150 - £300

      JIM NICHOLSON (1924 - 1996) Port Ramsay - Isle of Lismore oil on board, signed, dated 1966 42cm x 56cm Note : Nicholson came to Edinburgh and worked for an advertising company for nine years, before joining the National Trust for Scotland in 1964, as its first artist designer. He retired in 1983 with the title of Art Director and had contributed immensely to the Trust's growth and effectiveness. Jim Nicholson was a man of enthusiasms. He visited St Kilda; many of his paintings were of that world-renowned archipelago, and Trust work there always had his special interest. While being a full time artist by then, he was also a keen hill walker which enabled him to gain access to other remote parts of Scotland, particularly the North-West and Hebridean Islands. His watercolours were informed by his knowledge of the terrain and influenced by his deep affection for the great unspoiled and its flora and fauna. Since the 1970's Jim had held over 40 one-man exhibitions throught Scotland and in London, his work being in great demand. Many of his paintings are in public and private collections in America, Australia, Canada, Germany, Hungary, Japan, South Africa and New Zealand, and throughout Britian, including that of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Jim died in Edinburgh in July 1996 at the age of 71.
