A Glasgow born artist has been shortlisted for a prestigious prize.

Allan Dewar Martin is in the final three of the Landscape Artist of the Year for his painting of the Happisburgh Lighthouse in North Norfolk.

The artist, who studied at Glasgow School of Art, was chosen from a list of 350 who were considered for the prize.

The subject of the painting Happisburgh Lighthouse is the only independently run working lighthouse in Britain, run by a charitable trust since it was threatened with closure thirty years ago.

The work of the finalists will be shown at an exhibition in Grenwich Park in London.

He will be judged alongside the other two finalists, Greg Mason of Exeter and Jen Gash of Thornbury for their works of Lincoln Cathedral and Brighton Pier respectively.

The final will be televised tomorrow on Sky Arts at 8pm, co- hosted by new co-presenter - actor and art-lover Stephen Mangan alongside broadcaster Joan Bakewell.

Ms Bakewell said:“It’s always fascinating to watch the artists grow and evolve their style throughout the programme and witness the incredible creativity in their interpretations of beautiful British landscapes – and to witness the debate amongst both the judges and viewers over which artist they believe to be the most worthy winner.”

This is the fourth series of the show, produced by Glasgow-based independent production company Storyvault Films.
