Note: London born to Scottish parents, Harry Spence was closely associated with the Glassgow Boys. It's believed he was introduced to Kirkcudbright by his friend Bessie MacNicol. He was painting there in the second half of the 1890s and settled in Glasgow in 1895 making regular visits to Galloway for the rest of his life. Alexander Reid (art dealer in French Impressionists and friend of Van Gogh) gave Spence a one man exhibition at his Glasgow gallery (1896). Exhibited including: Royal Academy; Royal Scottish Academy; Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolours; Royal Society of British Artists; Royal Institute of Oil Painters; Royal Cambrian Academy; Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts; Liverpool.
