I hope this is the one and someone can help - there is some pale lettering beneath each month's immage but too faint for my poor eyes too.

Hi Mamya, yes your link seems to be the right one, as we have the calendar and my partner says that the signature - if it is one - is too faint for her to read so, hopefully, someone with a calendar and a microscope or a mag glass can work summat out!
But as well as that, A Very Happy and Healthy New Year to you too Mamya xxx

from what I can see, the pictures are all by the same artist. So at a guess, rather than getting them from a picture library (as they might do if they were using photos), they've commissioned an artist to do them for WH Smith but put the company's name on the calendar rather than his. Perhaps his name is included elsewhere, especially if there's a copyright note anywhere on the pages I can't see. (He of course might be a she.)
I think it could well be Neil Gower. Look at Bill Bryson's The Road to Little Dribbling cover in particular.

woodelf, they are such beautiful paintings that I have been investigating a little further. Not awfully successfully. But you will see on the attached link the names of some of the artists used by WHSmith printed underneath their paintings. Perhaps one or two of them may have paintings on your calendar.
