Joseph Farquharson-Biography

Painter in oil and watercolour of landscape and garden scenes. Now most famous for his works portraying sheep and his finest works often include a human figure, generally men and women of the land going about their daily labour. The popular Scottish Landscape painter Peter Graham was a close friend and is influence is unmistakable. Nearly all the early works were inspired by his rural surroundings and he progressed to make snow scenes his trademark, which although portraying winter also caught the warmth and light of sun rises and dusk. He based himself in the North East of Scotland, in Aberdeenshire and trained in Edinburgh under Hodder. He also paid several visits to Paris and North Africa.
