Hay, Thomas Marjoribanks RSW (Scottish)
1862 - 1921
Colonsay, watercolor, signed l/m, inscribed/dated
1910 l/l,
5" x 7" sight, framed.
About the Painting:Very good condition. The original framer's
label, including a handwritten title and
the artist's name, has been retained.
About the Artist: Edinburgh landscape painter who worked largely
in watercolour. His earlier works have a
detailed precision which soon broadened into
a looser, wetter style. He worked in the
east coast villages, in Perhshire and in
the Central Highlands. He was good at painting
hills and mountains shrouded in cloud or
mist, in restrained colours.- from The Dictionary of Scottish Painters.
Hay was elected R.S.W. in 1895, and exhibted
59 pictures in the society's exhibitions.
He showed another 88 pictures at the R.S.A.,
and was represented in most important British
galleries during the approximately forty
years that he worked. He lived in Edinburgh
and died there in 1921.
NOTE: An example of T. M. Hay's work was one of
the first watercolors we purchased (over
thirty years ago) and it remains a part of
our personal collection. In our opinion,
there is no better representation of Scottish
early 20th century watercolour painting than
the work of Thomas Marjoribanks Hay!
