John Bulloch SouterStill Life of Pink Roses, Souter, 20th Century Oil painting
About the Item
John Bulloch Souter
1890 - 1972
Still Life of Pink Roses
Oil on canvas, signed lower left
Image size: 11 1/4 x 15 1/2 inches (28.5 x 39.5 cm)
Period Gilt frame
This still life shows three beautiful roses in a pewter vase, painted by the artist circa 1950. It was after World War Two, when Souter returned to live in Aberdeen, that commissions for portraits and copying became scarce. Thus, the artist’s wife encouraged Souter to produce landscapes and still lifes, especially paintings of roses – this is mostly likely to be one of these works.
It is a fine example of early 20th century Scottish floral oil. The painting has a brilliant use of colour, with the blush pink tones of the rose petals providing a soft contrast to the greys of the table and wall behind.
Whilst the flowers themselves have been formed using blocks of colour, somewhat reducing each petal to their elementary shapes, attention to realism can be seen in the distortion of the flower stems as viewed through the glass vase. Souter has also created the form of the vase with economy, with a couple of well-placed dashes of white paint to create highlights glistening off the glass.

John Bulloch Souter
John Bulloch Souter was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, where he studied at Gray’s School of Art. A traveling scholarship allowed him to visit the continent, where he was impressed by Velasquez, Chardin and Vermeer. After serving in the Royal Medical Corps during World War I, Souter soon married and moved to London. It was during this post-war period that he made his name as a portrait painter; his subjects included personalities such as Ivor Novello, Gladys Cooper and Fay Compton. Souter exhibited at Redfern Gallery, the Fine Art Society, Royal Scottish Academy and the Royal Academy, where his notorious painting The Breakdown was shown in 1926. During World War II, he worked in the Censorship Department as a translator, while also restoring paintings at Windsor Castle. Souter returned to Aberdeen in 1952, where he remained.

This still life is a meticulous study by the artist of a selection of plants and flowers that could be found in any English hedgerow or roadside verge. Here Newcombe has depicted wild grasses, flowering nettles and dandelions in various states in their life cycle; pre-bud, full flower and having lost all of the fluffy seeds. The detail in this work is fine and reminiscent of the accuracy that was executed in 17th century Dutch artworks...

Painswick, Original painting, Landscape, Nature, Cityscape
By Eleanor Woolley
Located in Deddington, GB
Painswick is an Original Oil painting by Eleanor Woolley. This painting was painted Plein Air in the Painswick valley overlooking the town of Painswick. The view is looking across from Edge common, the morning light catching yellows and pinks in the trees. The houses are nestled together, and look almost on top of each other from this view. The hillside beyond slopes beautifully away, slightly obscured by the light. Patches of green, yellow and blue are glimpsed through the mists.
