ARIST Norman Kirkham, who has died aged 84, was a kenspeckle figure in Scottish art circles. A past President of Glasgow Art Club and Honorary Secretary of the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Art (RGI), he exhibited worldwide, and his work is held in numerous collections, including those of the Duke of Edinburgh, The Royal Academy, the Royal Scottish Academy and Glasgow Museums. Respected by fellow artists as a skilled painter, his sense of mischief and uncompromising approach to his craft meant he was perhaps not as well-known outside the art world as others of equal talent. A genuine enthusiasm for painting was underpinned by an innate sensitivity, subtle use of colour and tone, fluid and expressive brushwork and fine draughtsmanship.
