The vitality of the landscapes by James Orr mark him out as a distinctively Scottish artist. Inspired and influenced by the work of the Glasgow Boys, Edward Seago and perhaps more obviously the Scottish Colourists Cadell and Peploe, James Orr depicts the simple pleasures in life through landscapes that are full of light, colour and immediacy. He paints in acrylic, which gives his paintings a distinguishing fluency. He was born in Glasgow and now lives in Ayrshire where he paints full-time, having studied part-time at Glasgow School of Art. He exhibits regularly in the annual RSA and RGI exhibitions, in a variety of London galleries and has held exhibitions abroad in New York, Hong Kong and Brussels. This painting was purchased by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow from the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts exhibition in 1997 alongside another work, ‘Arisaig and Eigg’.
