watercolour on paper, signed and titled mounted, framed and under glass image size 12cm x 22cm, overall size 33cm x 44cm Note: Irene Lesley Hope Main was born in Glasgow. She studied Drawing and Painting at the Glasgow School of Art from 1976 until graduating in 1980 (under Donaldson, Robertson, Shanks and Rae), the Patrick Allan-Fraser School of Art at Hospitalfield to which she won a scholarship, and in Italy. She travelled extensively throughout Europe, America and Africa and exhibited widely in one-person and group exhibitions in the United Kingdom, Europe and America. She was a full-time painter, a winner of the Hiram Walker Award and the Lauder Award, and had studios in Glasgow, Athens and Brodick, Isle of Arran. Lesley Main was strongly influenced by the Scottish Colourists (in particular, J. D. Fergusson) and the Glasgow School, with its emphasis on light and shade, use of colour and sensuous handling of paint, and traditional pursuit of academic excellence. Her great love of nature underpinned her joie de vivre and essential optimism, of which her work is a direct and fluent complement and statement. Lesley Main's work is well-known, and is in public and private collections world- wide, including those of: H.R.H. Diana, the late Princess of Wales; Allied Irish Bank; Argyll Group; Australian Capital Equity; Bank of Ireland; British Petroleum; Charterhouse Development Capital; Citicorp Scrimgeour Vickers International; Clyde Port Authority; Commonwealth Development Corporation; Robert Fleming Holdings; Henry Ford Foundation; G. K. Goh; Gouldens; Iomart Group; Lam Soon Group; Lanitis Development; Lithgow Group; John Makepeace; Mercury Asset Management; Metropole Group; Prudential Corporation; BWD Rensburg; Royal Bank of Scotland; Save and Prosper; Scottish Arts Council; Herbert Smith; South African Department of Foreign Affairs; Standard Life; Deloitte Touche; University of Strathclyde; Warwick Arts Trust; Yarrow.
