Michael Brown was the talented artist for the Life Association of Scotland callenders. Does anyone know anything about this man?

Here are some of the calendar pictures "after Brown", from a recent show at  Manfred Schotten Antiques

and an auction at Mullock Madeley

Let's make this a MacWoodian Quiz.
See if you can name these famous holes, without finding the answers at the above websites.

The third painting looks like it should be Co. Down, though I do not recognise the hole.  The fourth painting could be Westward Ho!

All I can say with certainty is #6 is a "cover" of #2.  

The only other observation I have is it seems in that day they tended to find green sites in bowls. Must have been a water retention thing.

Tom,

   I only remember reading a paragraph or two about Brown in one of the auction catalogues. You probably know more than that already, but I'll try to locate what I read.

I heard his name today on Antiques Roadshow and like his golf watercolors.
