I have bought original pictures by Scottish Artists. A lot are regional, which means they will make more money in the place they were painted as the Aritist is loved in that particular place..
However, we all buy what we like and it would be a dull world if we all liked the same thing.
This is Nathan Meadows, a Sunday School Teacher who was gifted this Oil Painting for his services to the church, painted in 1860. I pay £16.00 for this Oil that no one wanted (pictures of men are harder to sell) about 25 years ago at an Auction. Never tried to sell him. We got to like him and he is now part of the family. As I said we all love something different.

My first observations were that there are no shadows. There are, on second observation, but very black and white. Beautiful. :)
