I truly enjoy finding a new artist and can introduce people to that artist. I came across a watercolour by painter #HaroldWilliamson (1878-1972) a while back. When I first saw it, I loved its beautiful sombre mood. Williamson was a painter, etcher, designer, and teacher. His studies at the Manchester School of Art were interrupted by WWI, in which he served as a Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve. He returned to complete his studies after the war. At the end of his studies, he moved to London and worked at Arthur Sanderson & Son as a designer of fabrics and wallpaper. In 1926, he was granted the post of Painting Master at the  Bournemouth College of Art. He held this post until 1947 when he accepted the post of head of department at the Manchester College of Art and Design. He  retired in 1962. His works also appeared in The Studio and Sphere magazine.s

Autumn Path – watercolour by Harold Williamson

A mesmerising image meets the eye. Dappled colours and earth tones set against the barren trees, and late autumn flowers display a world in transition. And there in the distance, a person is treading the leaf strewn path, breathing the crisp cool forest air, and feeling the turn of one season to another. A wonderful evocative image.
