I've seen these paintings though and I must say 'Old Willie...' is an incredible bit of portraiture.<br /><br />I was blown away by some of the middle period Glasgow Boys stuff, when they got a bit society and started painting the North's elite instead of its poor. There's a portrait of the daughter Gateshead's Sowerby Glass dude which is great, but can't remember who its by, might be Guthrie actually. And a portrait of Joseph Crawhall III which is great too. <br /><br />Crawhall III is my favourite out of the lot of them actually, but then I may be biased in that I am a massive fan of his father, Crawhall II, who was an amazing and much underrated book artist and woodcutter. I run a little (but expanding) website of his work if you are interested:<br /><br />http://www.josephcrawhall.org/The North Britonhttp://www.northbriton.comnoreply@blogger.com
