James Stuart Park

James Stuart Park 1862-1933

Born Kidderminster of Ayrshire parents he was brought up in Ayrshire. He painted in his spare time until 1888 when he turned to art as a profession. He studied at the GSA and in Paris. Although he painted some portraits and figure studies he is best know for his flower paintings, the best of those being in the late 1880’s.

Park was associated with the Glasgow boys and exhibited with them, but never a central member of the group.
