We go back to the Lake District and visit another artist who painted this area of England. #EdwardHoraceThompson (1879-1949) was born in Seaton, Workington, in Cumbria. His artistic talent was seen early, and he began painting at the age of 12. After his studies, he continued to paint but only in his spare time as he worked an office job to make a living. By 1918, he had established a reputation as a good artist, and he turned to life as a full-time painter. Shortly, thereafter, he set up his studio in Eaglesfield near Cockermouth. He moved to reside close to Bassenthwaite, Cumbria, and from there, he captured the varied moods and colours of the mountains and lakes that surrounded him..

Thompson began using pseudonym #DonaldAPaton around 1924 for most of his Scottish scenes. Thompson worked mainly in watercolour and is now considered to have been a very fine artist. He produced a series of images/works that were produced as postcards to promote the Lake District and Scotland.

One can see from this fabulous winter scene the talent that Thompson possessed as well as his love and respect for the Lake District in which he lived.
