Family group, unsigned.
N.B. John Boyd was born in Stonehaven in 1940, and whilst at Mackie Academy was lucky enough to be encouraged by James Morrison, who often welcomed him to his studio in Catterline. He attended Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen from 1958-62 where he was taught by Bobby Henderson Blyth, and briefly studied at Hospitalfield near Arbroath, where he met John Byrne and Sandy Fraser, who was to become a lifelong friend. Shortly afterwards he moved to Glasgow where he lived for the rest of his life. He became an art teacher, principally at Shawlands Academy, where he taught the young Archie Forrest. Only in the last decade did he devote himself exclusively to his work as an artist. John Boyd was a prolific painter and showed his work in twenty one-man exhibitions, represented by galleries in Glasgow, London, Eton and Edinburgh
