He had as his master the well-known Scottish landscape painter and engraver Iain MacNab(1890-1979) who had himself had been a pupil of the fashionable Glasgow School of Art and Heatherleys, the oldest independent art school in London(founded in 1845,which focused on figurative painting) and eventually became the Principle.
Noble soon found himself drawn to the flower painters of the great 17 th century Dutch romantic artists such as Ambrosius Bosschaert the Ekder,Roelandt Savery and Jan Brueghel the Elder.It is this genre that Noble found his forte.
He favoured a somewhat simplistic approach to his composition(and often stylised)but always with a clear sense of balance and colour.
Since his first solo London exhibition at the Bond Street Gallery in 1957 his work has been sought after by collectors far-afield and as he was a prolific artist his work appears regularly in the art market and is always keenly contested.’Spring Flowers in a Glass Vase and Companion’ pair signed oils on canvas;each image size 23x17.5 cms;each framed size 37x31cms.Housed in attractive carved giltwood and washed frames.This pair of beautiful paintings are particularly good examples of the artists work.
