Searching for a painter/paintings

Postby visitkintyre.info » Mon May 05, 2008 1:56 pm

I received the following request today and thought I would post this here to see if anyone can help.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

in 2005 we spent some days in Campbeltown (we enjoyed it very much) where we met a painter at the sea. Now we would like to hang up a picture/painting from Scotland in our home and we remember having met this painter. It would be a nice idea if we could get one of his pictures. I do not know his name. I attach two photos showing the painter (with my wife) and the picture he was just painting. Maybe you can track down the painter with this photo.

My mail is a bit unusual but maybe you can help

thanks in advance

best regards

Adolf Pfeiffer

Not too sure who the painter is, but it is Southend down near Keil, he is painting the shoreline with Dunaverty, Sheep and Sanda Island.

Could some of the locals remember seeing this chap?

I will be having dinner with Dug and Tana tomorrow so will let him know of your interest, I'm sure he will be delighted!
He is here for another week so if you want you can pm me your details and I can pass them on to Dug. Also, he has some hanging in Gallery 10 if you want a look in there.

Superb! Great choice of beverage...
I showed Dug your comments yesterday and he was really chuffed, remembered meeting yourself and your wife, and you being very surprised that he could speak German too! He now has you details and will be in touch soon. Hopefully see you in Campbeltown sometime!

PS. Gallery 10 is a coffee shop/bistro/gallery in Longrow.
