| I know that the original question is now really old. However, it went unanswered and maybe the original poster might benefit from some information that I did find on the following link. http://web.onetel.com/~f_laing/image...elease1004.pdf Quote:
Anthony Armstrong is one of Scotland's best kept art secrets. Hugely popular, but not in the media eye, Tony is a prolific painter who now divides his time between Blairgowrie and Glasgow. His evocative scenes of Scotland and his captivating nudes grace the walls of many of Scotland's country houses and hang in public collections including the Hunterian and Transport Museum in Glasgow.
Always in demand, Tony's work over the years has reflected his international travels, his passion for the Scottish landscape and his understanding of the human nature. Together his works make a rich and varied oeuvre which appeals to both private art lover and the professional collector.
