Description

We are delighted to offer for sale this lovely oil on canvas by the artist DANIEL SHERRIN, who has signed the painting with his pseudonym L. Richards in the lower left hand corner. The painting depicts a view of Loch Katrine in the Trossachs National Park on a bright, but cloudy day. Loch Katrine is a freshwater loch and scenic attraction in the Trossachs area of the Scottish Highlands. It is within the district of Stirling. The loch is 13 kilometres long and 1 kilometre wide at the widest point and runs the length of Strath Gartney.

To quote from Jeremy Wood's excellent book 'Hidden Talents':

'Daniel Sherrin was born in Brentford, Essex in 1868, the son of John Sherrin R.I., the well known flower and still life painter. There is no record of him receiving a formal art training but it is probable that he studied with his father. Most of Daniel Sherrin's work is in the style of several popular artists of the time. He painted rural landscapes after the style of Benjamin W. Leader, marines after Montague Dawson and river scenes in watercolour after Stuart Lloyd. He did not exhibit in London, but preferred to work directly under contract for a gallery, painting the subject (and styles) that they required. He also painted under the pseudonym of L. Richards and these are quite often seen on the market. The family moved to Ramsgate, Kent, when Daniel was a young boy and his father died there in 1896. Daniel Sherrin later moved to Seasalter, near Whitstable, Kent and died there on 26th January 1940. The artistic talent was carried to a third generation for his son Reginald Daniel Sherrin was also an artist.' (One of his typically large watercolours is illustrated in this book).
