John Blair (painter)
John Blair ( - 13 October 1934) was a Scottish painter, predominantly of watercolour landscapes. Of humble beginnings in Berwickshire, he moved to Edinburgh to study and spent the rest of his life there. His paintings mainly reflect the landscapes around him, both of urban settings and also of the castles, sea and lochs of the Borders, although he also painted figures and still lifes. As well as his original work, his paintings were viewed by a wide audience in the form of picture postcards, book endpapers and illustrations. Life and career Blair was born in the Berwickshire village of Hutton, in about 1849. His family background would not seem to have favoured his choice of career, which suggests a certain degree of ability in order to make it succeed, nor perhaps predicted him leaving an estate of £3418 4s 6d on his death in 1934. His father's occupation is listed on various census records/official documents as "agricultural labourer", "salmon fisher" and "gardener". His pa ...
