1.     J. Swinton Diston  (active c.1890 – 1930)  

          Country Scene

          Watercolour, signed lower right

          17.5 x 26.5cm

          Estimate:  $100 - 300  

          Verso:  Early Inverarity Framing label, Fremantle.

Not much is known of this artist.  However, he must have been quite successful, as many of his  works have survived, which means he must have sold quite a few in the first place.  We know he was in W.A.  because a few W.A. works have “come to light” in recent years.
