Description

Rodney Fryer Russell (1918 1996) was a West Country watercolourist and portrait painter. Born in Dorset, England, he was the great-great-great grandson of Isaac Gulliver and the second cousin of Dame Sybil Thorndike. In 1950 he won a scholarship to Paris and lived in London, West Sussex, Spain and Dorset. Having half completed an architectural degree at the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) by 1939, he commanded three MLs off the coast of Britain, in the Mediterranean and finally in the Far East. He had a brother Christopher who died before the war and was survived by his sister Joan. He married Elizabeth Shettle, with whom he had a daughter Virginia and two sons James and David. On Elizabeth's death he married the Argentine Doreen Gildea, with whom he had a single child, Anthony Russell. His last wife Pamela Till, who was also a portrait and landscape artist, still lives in Dorset.
