George Wright Landscape Paintings
British, 1860-1942
Born near Leeds, England in 1860.
Wright was the elder brother of Gilbert Scott Wright, with whom he worked in the early part of the twentieth century. He is believed to have worked as an illustrator early in his career. He lived in Rugby, England for a couple of years, during which period he painted polo scenes; he later lived in Oxford and in Richmond, Surrey. Upon his retirement in 1939 he moved to Seaford, Sussex. He was best known for his hunting and coaching scenes and for his horse and equestrian portraits; he also painted historical subjects, including several small works of Cavaliers.
Wright died in Seaford, Sussex, England in 1942.to

Hudson River School was an informal association was America's first so-called school of painting and the dominant landscape style until the Civil War. The name derives from a group of 19th-century landscape painters working in New York state. With realistic composition, they depicted romantic views of unsettled areas of the Hudson River Valley especially lakes, rocky gorges, and forests in the Catskill Mountains. About a fourth of these artists utilized luminism or effects with special lighting techniques to convey lofty emotions through contrasts of light and dark. Included in this Hudson River luminist category were Washington Allston, Albert Bierstadt, William Hart, and Frederic Edwin Church...

Large Scale Early 20th Century Bucolic Mt. Hood Landscape Oil Painting
By William M. Lemos
Located in Soquel, CA
Gorgeous landscape with two cows drinking water in a pond with Mt. Hood in background by listed artist William M. Lemos (American, 1861-1942). Signed "W.M. Lemos" lower right. Presented in vintage gilt-toned frame that shows wear (included as-is). Condition: Good: previously owned and used, with little or no signs of wear and is in good condition. No structural issues. Image size: 29"H x 49"W.
Born in New York, Professor Lemos moved to San Francisco in 1887 where he established a studio at 106 Geary Street. He later moved to Santa Cruz in 1896, where he settled, painting murals for many local businessmen and the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.
As a boy Lemos earned money by wandering the streets and painting on request. Arriving in San Francisco in 1887, he established a studio at 106 Geary. With his wife Mabel, he worked in Los Angeles for a few years in the 1890s. After settling in Santa Cruz in 1896, he painted murals for many local businessmen. When the original Beach Casino was built there at the Boardwalk in 1904, Lemos was the first concessionaire and worked there for nearly 40 years. On his platform in the Casino, Lemos did paintings of redwoods, still lifes, forest fires, beach scenes, and marines. Many of his oils were done on redwood slabs which were popular with the tourists; in the early days these paintings sold for one dollar and up depending on the size of the work. After his vision failed and he was unable to paint, his last years were mostly spent fishing off the Municipal Pier with a friend who baited his hook for him because he could no longer see. In the March 27, 1941 Santa Cruz Sentinel News Lemos reminisced, "Them were the days when the Boardwalk was only twelve feet long and when business got slow I picked up my shotgun and went across the street and shot ducks where the Casa del Rey Hotel now stands." Exhibited: Calif. State Fair, 1885; Mechanics' Inst. (SF), 1889. In: Santa Cruz City Museum; Wawona Hotel (Yosemite).
Edan Hughes, "Artists in California, 1786-1940"
His mother was Julia Lemos, a Chicago artist famous for her depiction of the Chicago fire, “Two of Julia’s children became successful artists. Her eldest son, William, was a naïve still life, landscape, and mural painter. As a young boy in New York, he would wander the streets, earning money for the family, by ‘painting on request.’ At age 26, William moved to San Francisco, California. He opened an art studio and kept it running until he moved to Santa Cruz with his wife, Mabel, in 1896. During this period, he worked as a fresco artist painting ‘murals for many local businessmen.’
Exhibited California State Fair, Sacramento, 32nd annual, per Sacramento Daily Union, September 9, 1885. and article goes on to say “William Lemos and wife, Sacramento – Art school exhibits in which are shown such a variety of designs in decorative art, flower painting, and ornamentation, that one must give time to the examination.”
Exhibited Mechanics Institute, San Francisco, 1889.

Impressionist English fox hunter with hounds in an extensive British landscape

George Wright (1860–1942)
Fox Hunting Scene
Oil on canvas, signed lower left
Circa 1920
Presented in a newly made, hand-carved Watts-style frame
A spirited and richly atmospheric example of English sporting art by George Wright, one of the foremost British equestrian painters of the early 20th century. This oil on canvas captures the thrilling energy of a mounted fox hunt as riders in scarlet coats gallop across an open countryside, accompanied by a lively pack of hounds coursing through a stream.
Wright’s deft brushwork and ability to render movement and musculature make his work particularly admired among collectors of sporting and animal art. The moody sky and brisk terrain contribute to a sense of action unfolding in real time—a hallmark of Wright’s dynamic compositions.
Signed lower left, the painting is framed in a superb hand-crafted Watts-style frame, lending an additional sense of classical elegance and elevating its visual presence. George Wright’s works are held in private collections and continue to be exhibited by specialists in British sporting painting...
