Born in 1926, Alan Carr Linford studied at the Royal College of Art 1943-1947. The Prix de Rome came to him in 1947. He gained associate membership of the Royal Society of Painter Etchers when he was 20, and he was elected an associate of the Royal Watercolour Society when he was 23 in 1949. This was preceded by several prestigious scholarships.

It was the portrait painter Sir Edward Halliday who took the young artist under his wing and showed a portfolio of his work to Princess Elizabeth (as The Queen then was) and the Duke of Edinburgh at Clarence House. The drawings were views of Italy and were very well received. This patronage launched Carr Linford’s career and commissions followed, including paintings of The Thames, some of which were chosen for The Royal Yacht Britannia. A further painting of Birkhall was exhibited at The Queen’s Gallery and more recent watercolours celebrated The Jubilee Thames Pageant with Her Majesty The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh on board The Spirit of Chartwell reviewing the progress of The Gloriana and the flotilla of small boats.

I quote Adrian Bury, Hon RWS, in his appreciation of Carr Linford from The Studio: “How many artists have been supported in their efforts by Royal interest. How much the nation owes in a cultural sense to our ruling house”. This is not always generally realised.

The Sultan of Oman commissioned a series of huge paintings of Oman and the artist rose to the challenge with great aplomb. Commissions came from all over the world, followed by three one-man exhibitions at the Mistral Gallery in Dover Street, London.

Carr Linford’s work deserves the honours he has won and the patronage he receives. The world is his oyster. He loves his work and this is reflected in the warmth and diversity of his paintings.
