* JIM NICHOLSON (BRITISH 1924 - 1996),
WHITE CLOVER, IONA
watercolour on paper, signed and dated 1991
44cm x 50cm
Mounted, framed and under glass.
Label verso: Malcolm Innes Gallery, 67 George Street, Edinburgh. With title, artist's name and stock no JN10.
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. 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. Since the 1970's Jim held over 40 one-man exhibitions throughout 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 Britain, including that of the late Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
