IN A GALLOWAY LANDSCAPE

Note: A Kirkcudbright artist who trained in Edinburgh. Worked mainly in oils but also did pen & ink illustrations. He originally did landscapes but began to introduce children and fairies in the 1890s. Mentally affected by a spinal condition, he committed suicide by throwing himself into the Clyde near Greenock at the tragically young age of forty. His closest friend and helper in his troubled years was Ewan Geddes RSW (1866-1935).
