I will be having a special focus exhibition on Dutch 18th Century watercolours and drawings. This is one of the first dealer exhibitions in the U.S.A. devoted to this fascinating subject. Many of the drawings and watercolours from this period are in an excellent condition, and the subject matter very appealing, often documenting social scenes, working life, landscapes and recording the natural habitat such as birds. Included in the exhibition are works by Hermanus Petrus Schouten (1747-1822) of The Oude Kerk, Amsterdam; three drawings by Nicolaes Aartman (1713-1793), two Skating Scenes and one of a Chamber Ensemble with Singers; two charming watercolours by Abraham Meertens of A Menagerie of Birds; four exotic watercolours of Birds by Aert Schouman (1710-1792) and many others watercolours and drawings from this period. Also included in the exhibition will be drawings and watercolours by Italian, French, Flemish, German, Spanish and British masters.

Crispian Riley-Smith is pleased to announce his first forthcoming exhibition of contemporary artists. In the centre of Harrogate, in the antique quarter, at the Crown Hotel there will be an exciting exhibition of four contemporary masters: Mark Adlington, Christian Furr, Howard Morgan and Simon Palmer.
 
Crispian Riley-Smith is well known in the art market for dealing in Old Master Drawings, and has been responsible for organising Master Drawings London and Master Drawings New York. Since moving to Yorkshire a year ago he has been looking for an opportunity to start a new venture in the active art market in Yorkshire. He has selected these four artists, who are well known and respected artists, and have significant followers.
 
Mark Adlington is an outstanding draughtsman of wildlife. His subjects range from cattle to otters, wolves and birds of prey. Born in 1965 Mark spent some of his childhood in Yorkshire near Harrogate. After training at City and Guilds School of Art, London, he currently works from his studio in London and South of France. Included in the exhibition will be a large body of his work from pastels to oils.
 
Christian Furr, born 1966, is the youngest artist to have officially painted the HM Queen Elizabeth II in 1995. The exhibition will include a loan portrait from a private collection of Gered Mankowitz, the famous musical photographer from the 1960s. A selection of Christian's new work, including 'Fall Off', a work that is inspired by the work of David Hockney and Edward Hopper.
 
Howard Morgan, born 1949, is a brilliant portrait and figurative painter. His work has often been compared to John Singer Sargent, however  according to Howard’s website, ‘a truer comparison would lie with Annibale Carracci, whose artistic freedom of movement and impasto technique captured the imagination of post Renaissance Roman patrons’. Howard’s portraiture is on permanent display in the National Portrait Gallery in London.  His commissions have included HM The Queen of The Netherlands to Tom Stoppard. 
 
Simon Palmer, born 1956, is an artist who was born in Yorkshire and has spent most of his life in the county. His subject matter is inspired by his surroundings. His jewel like landscapes have been inspired by Sir Stanley Spencer and Simon’s detailed style is reminiscent of Spencer. Palmer has had two recent events at the Mercer Art Gallery, Harrogate, one was a solo show another was ‘Palmer’s Choice’.
 
The exhibition will present four very different, but highly regarded, artists with works ranging in price from £300 pounds to £30,000.
