About the Item

The choppy river is in the foreground, looking ready to burst its banks as it flows through the fields. Beyond are bare trees and snows scattered fields and hills. This is a charming early spring landscape with lovely muted Scottish tones and impressionistic brushwork and an excellent example of Houston's work.

George Houston RSA (1869-1957) was born at West Lynn, Dalry, Ayrshire. He lived most of his life around Ayrshire, Edinburgh and Argyll, although he was widely travelled for his time, visiting Japan in 1911. He is best known for his consistently high technical skill, capturing the atmosphere and changing climate and seasons of his favourite Argyll and Ayrshire. He painted mainly in oil and watercolour but also produced etchings. He specialized in the landscapes of Ayrshire and Argyll and his exceptional talent lay in creating the atmosphere, climatic conditions and season of each scene. He sometimes worked on a large scale but unlike many artists, the quality of his work remained constant. His style was not influenced by modernist trends and is best described as "late Impressionism". Houston achieved substantial commercial success, which funded a comfortable lifestyle for his ever growing family. He received widespread critical acclaim and was admired by his contemporaries for the apparent ease with which he painted. He only started painting professionally in his late thirties but "quality" came naturally to him as it usually does for truly "gifted" painters. Houston loved fishing and he loved country life. This love of the natural environment has always been (and remains) clear and obvious to the many who appreciate his paintings.
