BiographyJames Stuart Park was born in Kidderminster of Ayrshire parents in 1862. The family returned to Scotland shortly after his birth, and he would gain his formal art training at the Glasgow School of Art and in Paris under Lefebvre, Boulanger and Cormon. He was associated with the Glasgow Boys - sharing a studio with David Gauld and James Kay. He exhibited at the R.S.A. and Glasgow Institute, but rarely in England. Yellow Roses, painted in 1889 and now in the Glasgow Art Gallery, was the the work for which he first gained attention when he was just twenty-seven.
