Born in Scotland in 1951, Jack Vettriano left school at sixteen to become a mining engineer in the local coalfields. For Jack Vettriano's twenty-first birthday a girlfriend gave him a set of watercolour paints and from then on Jack Vettriano spent much of his spare time teaching himself to paint. The local art gallery, The Kirkcaldy Museum and Art Gallery, with its renowned collection of 19th and 20th century Scottish paintings, was particularly inspirational.In 1990 an enthusiastic reaction greeted the three paintings which Jack Vettriano entered for the prestigious Summer Exhibition at London's Royal Academy. Aside from his exhibitions, Jack Vettriano has acquired a vast following of fans through the posters and prints of his paintings that are distributed worldwide. The original of Jack Vettriano's work 'The Singing Butler' fetched nearly £750,000 in April 2004.
