* PETER HOWSON OBE (SCOTTISH b. 1958), SLEEPING WARRIOR

* PETER HOWSON OBE (SCOTTISH b. 1958), SLEEPING WARRIOR pastel on paper, signed framed and under glass image 101cm x 82cm, overall 115cm x 96cm Note: a very large pastel. Peter Howson pastels are often 60 x 45cm but at 101 x 82cm, "Sleeping Warrior" is slightly more than three times the size. Note 2: Collectors and Howson enthusiasts will be excited by the major retrospective “When the Apple Ripens: Peter Howson at 65" of the work of the artist taking place at the City Arts Centre, Edinburgh and organised by Museums & Galleries Edinburgh from May this year until the beginning of October, bringing together over 100 major works from his early years until the present time. Initial visitor numbers suggest that this exhibition is likely to set new records for a living Scottish artist. The staging of this exhibition during (and beyond) the Edinburgh International Festival reflects the well documented and longstanding international interest in Peter Howson's work.
