Ernest Walbourn (1872–1927) was an English painter and illustrator best known for rural landscapes, gardens and scenes of village life. Born in the London area, he studied art and began exhibiting at the Royal Academy in the 1890s. He painted in both oils and watercolour, frequently combining figures with cottages, wooded lanes and flowering gardens.
His pictures reflect the late Victorian and Edwardian interest in the English countryside. Walbourn often used light and foliage to frame small everyday incidents, and he also contributed illustrations to popular books.
The Kite appeared in Ward, Lock’s Wonder Book (1918), a publication intended for young readers. It shows another aspect of his work beyond the oil paintings and watercolours for which he is chiefly remembered.
Walbourn exhibited in London and regional galleries, and his paintings have remained popular with collectors of British rural scenes. He died in 1927.

Glasgow and the Mackintosh Style
We recently took ourselves off to Scotland, and on our travels, we popped into the Mackintosh Tea Rooms in Glasgow for a bit of a nose around and a spot of lunch.
