I BOUGHT THIS PRINT FROM THE SECOND HAND MARKET.
It’s not a painting, just a print, probably a mass produced print, but I spotted it, immediately liked it, and bought it very, very cheaply.
Then I thought I should familiarize myself with the artist……..so here’s what I learned.
John Lowrie Morrison was born in Maryhill, Glasgow in 1948. He moved with his parents and brother Murdo to Hyndland
He studied drawing and painting at Glasgow School of Art from 1967 to 1972 and then trained as a teacher at Jordonhill College in 1973.
After qualifying he took a post at Lochgilphead High School. He met his future wife, Maureen at Templeton's Carpets where he had a summer job doing designs.
In 1987 John Lowrie Morrison became the principal art teacher at Lochgilphead High School.
He was an Art Examiner with the Scottish Examination Board and became involved in Standard Grade Development and went on to become a member of the Higher Still Advisory Panel.
