mixed media on paper, signed, titled labels verso mounted, framed and under glass image size 29cm x 42cm, overall size 51cm x 62cm Artist's label verso Note: Leonard Gray was a quietly industrious painter whose prodigious output, in his signature style of warm, subtle shades with trademark texture, was coveted by private and public collectors including HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. He first began exhibiting more than 65 years ago and produced more than 1000 works, three of which hang in the late Duke’s collection of Scottish paintings at the Palace of Holyrood House. Many of his paintings are based on Scotland’s east coast, perhaps unsurprisingly for a man born in Dundee, who trained in Edinburgh and worked in Fife and Aberdeen. He won numerous awards and prizes including The John Laing (London) Prize for Landscape Painting in 1996, 1997 and 1998. Known collections include: HRH The Duke of Edinburgh’s Collection of Scottish Paintings (3 paintings); Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh; City Gallery, Edinburgh; Greenock Art Gallery; National Trust for Scotland; University of Aberdeen; Herriot Watt University, Edinburgh; Education Authority of Edinburgh; Education Authority of Dundee; Education Authority of Grampian; Education Authority of Highland; Edinburgh Royal Hospital; IBM.
