oil on canvas, signed, titled verso framed image size 48cm x 61cm, overall size 65cm x 80cm Note: Campbell was born in Prestwick, Ayrshire, in 1960. This area of Scotland is abundant with golf courses so it's not surprising that much of his inspiration has come from the sport and its personalities. Craig studied at The Glasgow School of Art and his close attention to detail soon earned him prestigious exhibitions including a tour of the USA and a show at The British Open Championship. Recent years have seen him undertaking some of his most challenging work yet with large commissions for corporate clients such as Donald Trump and the new clubhouse at Trump Turnberry. This included several large paintings depicting the famous 1977 'Duel in the Sun'. He has many other clients including The European Tour, Amazon, The Royal Bank of Scotland, Westcot Credit Services, Dawn Group Ltd, Monsanto (USA), The Yorkshire Bank, Ayr Racecourse, JP Management, to name but a few. In 2005 Craig was commissioned by Barbara Nicklaus to paint a portrait of her husband Jack.. Later that year Jack met with Craig at Rufflets Country House Hotel, St. Andrews, during British Open week and signed and dated his new painting commemorating Jack's final Open. The original portrait was sold privately for œ20,000 and the prints have raised in excess of $200,000 around the world for leading children and cancer charities. In 2015 Craig was also commissioned to paint a portrait of Tom Watson at his final British Open at St. Andrews.
