<strong>The</strong> Earl Haig OBE, RSA (1918-2009)<br />
Bemersyde Moss in March c.1988 oil on canvas 71.5 x 92 cms<br />
Earl Haig had the distinction <strong>of</strong> having the longest continuous pr<strong>of</strong>essional relationship with <strong>The</strong> <strong>Scottish</strong><br />
<strong>Gallery</strong> <strong>of</strong> any artist. He showed first in 1945, his sketches from Colditz, and lastly had a triumphant<br />
ninetieth birthday show in April 2008.<br />
Bemersyde Moss was a favourite subject, on his doorstep and ever changing, a marshy area below the<br />
Castle which inspired some <strong>of</strong> his most evocative, lyrical paintings.<br />
