We
are delighted to announce that
Irish landscape and wildlife
artist RB (Bertie) Higgins will
donate an original watercolour
depicting an Irish shooting
scene to SACS for the annual
Sealed Bid Auction. No
stranger to the Association,
Bertie has been working
tirelessly as a recruiting
sergeant for SACS in the Province and his generosity with
this gesture shows how much he
really does support SACS here in
Northern Ireland.
In addition to the watercolour
for the Sealed Bid Auction, Bertie has agreed
to paint a front cover scene for
our winter SACS Magazine. As a
sign of the Association's
appreciation for Bertie's
efforts the SACS Director has
conferred the SACS Honorary
Membership status to Bertie
Higgins for his tireless work
for our Association.
Firmly established in the top
echelons of Irish painters, his
work is fetching considerable
sums in the market. His
love of Irish landscapes and
game shooting, he says, spurs
him on and is inspirational in
his work. His work is
regularly featured in the Roy
Edwards Gallery, Portadown.
We are delighted to receive this
piece of work from Bertie
Higgins and feel sure it will
help us to raise funds for the
Association. |
