[John Philip Busby (1928-2015) RSW RSA was an influential artist known for his close observation of nature.Busby was a member of the Royal Scottish Academy of Arts and Architecture (RSA) and the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour, RSW, and served as president of the Society of Scottish Artists, from 1976 to 1979. A life-long bird watcher and naturalist, he was a founder member of the Society of Wildlife Artists, SWLA. Busby illustrated over 35 books about birds and animals, mostly about behaviour, ranging from seabirds to tigers, garden birds to otters. His own books ranged from a study of the art of Eric Ennion (The Living Birds of Eric Ennion 1982 Victor Gollancz), to Lines from Nature (2016, Langford Press published posthumously). The book which summed up his whole approach to nature and art was the 2013 Looking at Birds - An Antidote to Field Guides. An exhibition entitled John Busby; Friends and Influences was the final exhibition held at the Wildlife Art Gallery, Lavenham, in 2016. He had a lifelong passion for music and was a committed Christian.] An additional £25 maybe requested to ship the painting within the UK.
