Born in 1956 in a Pennine town on the Manchester–Yorkshire border, he began painting gritty industrial scenes rooted in the Northern School tradition. A formative meeting with L.S. Lowry at the age of fourteen proved pivotal, encouraging Stafford to pursue his artistic path. After relocating to Cornwall in 1996, he connected with artists such as Sir Terry Frost and Patrick Heron, leading to a vibrant fusion of Northern narrative and Cornish colour and light. His work often features recurring characters drawn from family life, adding warmth, humour and continuity. Stafford exhibited at the Royal Academy in 2001, became a member of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists in 2003, and his work is held in numerous important private collections, including that of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEstimated Date\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e2021\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProvenance \u0026amp; Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom a private UK collection.

He received formal training at the Royal Academy Schools in London, where his work emphasised strong draughtsmanship and tonal structure before evolving into a lighter, more expressive style.\nFrom the 1950s onward, Clymer travelled widely throughout Britain and mainland Europe, working extensively en plein air in France, Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands. He exhibited regularly at established London galleries and regional art societies, including open exhibitions associated with the Royal Academy and allied institutions. His paintings entered numerous private collections in the UK and abroad, valued for their atmospheric clarity, confident brushwork and accessible modern impressionism.\nInfluenced by French Impressionists such as Monet and Pissarro, Clymer developed a personal visual language that balances observation with painterly freedom. His harbour scenes remain particularly sought-after, representing a mature post-war British response to European impressionist traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEstimated Date\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCirca 1955–1970\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProvenance \u0026amp; Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom a private UK collection.

He worked primarily in oil and watercolour and is best known for coastal views, river scenes, and rural landscapes characterised by strong tonal balance and a restrained, atmospheric palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoler was professionally based in Sheffield, where he was active as both an exhibiting artist and a respected local figure within regional art circles. While no formal Royal Academy training records are documented, his confident draughtsmanship and compositional control suggest solid academic grounding typical of late-19th-century provincial painters, likely through private study and local art schools rather than London institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe exhibited regularly at regional exhibitions in Yorkshire and the north of England, particularly through local art societies and municipal exhibitions during the Edwardian period. His work achieved consistent commercial success with private collectors during his lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoler’s paintings are held today in public museum collections, including Sheffield Museums, confirming his historical importance within British regional art history. His works continue to appear in the secondary market and are collected for their decorative appeal, solid technique, and clear period character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEstimated Date\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1917\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProvenance \u0026amp; Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom a private collection.

From 1946 onwards he became known for painting the Yorkshire Dales, producing landscapes and architectural scenes of northern towns and countryside.\nHe later worked as Art Master at St Michael’s College, Leeds until 1960, and was a member of the Leeds Fine Artists group.

Painted in 1975, shortly after Crawford’s election to the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour, this is an unusually strong and visually memorable example of his east coast Scottish subjects. The composition centres on the geometric concrete Type 24 coastal defence pillbox emerging from the dunes above the shoreline, creating a powerful contrast between wartime architecture and the quiet openness of the North Sea landscape. Crawford’s restrained palette of muted greys, sands and sea greens gives the work a calm, contemplative mood while retaining excellent decorative appeal.

Crawford is especially associated with atmospheric Scottish coastal subjects, fishing communities and east coast landscapes shaped by sea, weather and architecture. His work has been exhibited through The Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh and at major annual exhibitions in both Edinburgh and London. Examples of his work are represented in public collections including The Fleming Collection.\nHe was awarded first prize for painting at Gray's in 1962; first prize in the Scottish Arts Council Open Exhibition in 1969; and the Hunting Award, first prize for watercolour, 1982.

After wartime service with the Grenadier Guards, he returned to Manchester and worked as a painter and decorator before training at Bournemouth College of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe later taught for many years before giving up teaching in 1969 and moving to Cornwall to paint full time. Yates developed a distinctive, direct and highly individual style, often associated with naïve, outsider and modern British painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis subjects included Cornish villages, harbour life, street scenes, landscapes, figures and the everyday life of ordinary people. His work combines simplified forms, expressive colour and a strong sense of human warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe had his first solo exhibition at Reynolds Gallery in Plymouth in 1976 and was a finalist in the John Moores Prize in the same year. He later exhibited widely, including with Thompson’s Gallery and John Martin Gallery in London.
