* NORMAN ORR (SCOTTISH 1924 - 1993), LOCH GARTEN OSPREY oil on board, signed 77cm x 77cm Framed Note: Norman Orr, born in Edinburgh in 1924, was considered to be one of Scotland's leading artists of Scottish Wildlife and folklore. After serving in the Royal Marines during World War II, he became a prominent crystal and glassware engraver, later turning more of his attention to drawing and painting. Norman Orr has been the subject of several personalised television documentaries and was in his later years invited by a member of the Rockefeller family to visit the USA. Examples of Norman Orr's work have been presented to Her Majesty The Queen, as well as other members of European Royal families. Orr rarely exhibited his work and almost all his larger paintings were private commissions.
