In the summer of last year when we moved Joe from his old boat, we took away a few old boxes and carrier bags of bits and bobs that Joe had accumulated over the last few years. These were sitting in HQ gathering dust until our archivist went through them...
We know the last year has been tough for everyone but as always it seems as though mums have stoically born more of the burden than most. What with working from home, having the kids at home and heaven forbid having husbands at home. We asked Joe if he could...
In response to our request to discover Joes long lost works, we were sent images of this work from 1968 which is clearly before he developed his own recognisable style. It was given by Joe to the family that owned it in return for a favour that the father did...
Before the latest dreaded lockdown, in the halcyon days that were Tier 2, Joe and I did our bit to ‘eat out to help out’ by holding our “business lunches” in some of Sheffield’s delectable taverns. One such eatery was The Summer House at Dore.After one particularly long lunch we...
Now that Joe has had both his jabs, it looks as though Covid is just another adversity in his long life that has been overcome and he’s looking forward to the coming year in his usual rude health. He said philosophically, “I know something will get me eventually but at...
We know Joe's followers and fans love in his works because of their beautiful colours, composition and subject matter, but have you ever thought about them as an investment? Here at Joe Scarborough Art, we use expert photographic techniques to take a digital image of Joe's artwork that is then used...
“BUSKER ON EASY STREET” SELLS IN RECORD TIME. At the end of October a painting by Joe titled “THAT’S HIM” sold within 30 minutes of it being offered for sale. We thought that record might stand for a while, but no. His latest work called “BUSKER ON EASY STREET” has...
Not only did Joe instruct us to provide a plethora of prizes for the Neurocare Charity Christmas Raffle, he also agreed to be an Ambassador for this worthy organisation. He’s not sure exactly what his duties will be at the moment but we know he will execute them with his usual...
With the rising prices of Joes original paintings and even a basic signed print selling for £100, Joe has, for a while been concerned that a large portion of his fans and admirers who supported him through good times and bad for so many years could no longer afford to...
With global interest now growing in Joes work, fewer and fewer are coming to the market as the investment potential of Joes work is being realised. Original Joe Scarborough's that do come up for auction now sell for double or triple the Auctioneers estimate which begs the question, where do...
In our tireless quest to discover the whereabouts of Joes original works we have uncovered many gems but this one is very special.
After inheriting this painting, a lady from Chesterfield decided to do a little research. She saw the handwritten title and signature by George Cunningham on the back of the frame which led her to Joescarborough.co.uk, which is custodian of George’s archive. In that archive she found the actual two page preparatory sketch for...
Famed Sheffield artists Joe Scarborough will be talking about his life at a special event in the Rotherham stately home which stars in his latest painting. Joe, 82, has stamped his inimitable style on a glorious, action-packed oil painting to help Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust with its fundraising. He will...
After seeing this mysterious image on Facebook of what appeared to be one of Joes paintings in some kind of shrine, Joe and I decided to do a little investigating. Like Sheffield’s answer to Midsomer Murders, Barnaby and Troy, we headed out to the picturesque village of HARTHILL in the...
In 2006 Weston Park Cancer Charity approached Joe to produce a painting celebrating the hospital and it’s peerless, inimitable staff. The idea was to get local businesses and individuals to sponsor the painting to cover Joe's fee who would then include them in the piece.
For the last couple of years, we have been asking people to come forward with their original Joe Scarborough paintings so that we could certify and create a register.
