Painting of Saltcoats Harbour

[clothahump]

Hi all, I am Tim and hail from Dorset, I was given a rather nice painting a couple of days ago, it is of Saltcoats Harbour and done in water colour I think.
Painted in 1981 by H White, does this mean anything to anybody?

Hi Tim, and welcome to the 3T's.

I don't have an answer to your question, but, maybe your "H.White" is a connection of the "A.White"
mentioned in this thread ?

Also, if you play around with this sites search facility you will get many many returns/matches if you type in
"H.White" (or something similar). You may find the answers you're looking for if you look through the results ?

Good luck.

Hi Tim.
It could be Hugh White who was I think an artist .
As far as I know he moved to Edinburgh quite a few years ago.

Thanks Mike, might make it easier to find some history now.

Hi saw the comment re painting of Saltcoats Harbour by H White think this may possibly be my uncle Hugh now living in Crawford (previously Edinburgh originally Saltcoats). I would love to see a picture of it if its available then I could email my uncle to try and find out if it is one of his.

It is a lovely picture. I will speak to my hubby to see if we can email it to Uncle Hugh from here. If not maybe I can send you our email address to send direct to me then I can forward.

Kind Regards

Rae
