Hamish MacDonald (1935-2008) was a Scottish impressionist and colourist painter from Glasgow, Scotland. His paintings feature mainly landscapes and coastal scenes, with some still-life.
His work features in several major collections, including Kelvingrove Art Gallery, Paisely Art Gallery and the Duke of Edinburgh.
Early life and education
MacDonald lived in the Scottish Highlands until aged 8, until he moved with his parents to the south side of Glasgow. He studied at the Glasgow School of Art from 1963-1967.
Career
MacDonald first exhibited his work at the Cosmo in Glasgow (now the Glasgow Film Theatre). He later taught art at several educational establishments in the Glasgow area, including Jordanhill College of Education, Mortherwell Technical College and Bell College of Technology. He began his role as Head of Art at St Patrick's High School in Coatbridge in 1974, remaining there until 1992.
MacDonald's paintings were influenced by the Impressionists and the Scottish Colourist movement, especially the works of Gillies and Eardley. He exhibited his paintings all around the UK, including exhibitions in the Royal Scottish Academy, the Royal West of England Academy and the London and Glasgow art fairs. In 1989 he won the £5000 Laing Art Competition prize.
Hamish Anderson MacDonald, OAM (born 19 August 1974) is an Australian Paralympic athlete. He was born in Melbourne and lives in Canberra. He has cerebral palsy. His achievements and advocacy have made him one of Australia's most respected Paralympians.
Early life
MacDonald, the second of four brothers, grew up in Melbourne. His mother, Jeannie, a nurse, ensured that he had the same opportunities in sport as his brothers. While in primary school, he was required to catch a train into the city twice a week for physiotherapy. MacDonald did not walk without callipers until he was eight.
MacDonald has stated that several teachers have played a pivotal role in his interest in sport. In primary school, his physical education teacher Gary Cole, an Australia international soccer player gave support and enthusiasm. In 1986, his family moved to Alice Springs and physical education teachers Shane Claridge and Michelle Parker, at Alice Springs High School, provided encouragement. He said: "They were the best teachers; they certainly gave me a big boost and helped to set my sights on track and field sports." He started powerlifting and wanted to compete in this sport at the Paralympics. However, Parker encouraged him to turn to athletics and in his final year at high school, he was selected for the Barcelona Paralympics.
