Harry Watson (1871–1936) was an English painter of landscapes, portraits and figure subjects in oil and watercolour. Born in Scarborough, Yorkshire, he spent part of his childhood in Winnipeg, Canada, before returning to Britain. He studied at Scarborough School of Art, Lambeth School of Art and the Royal College of Art, where he received prizes and a travelling scholarship to Italy.
Watson began exhibiting at the Royal Academy in 1896. He was elected to the Royal Watercolour Society in 1915 and also became a member of the Royal West of England Academy and Royal Institute of Oil Painters. His paintings range from coastal subjects to scenes of childhood and family life.
Holidays (c.1922) belongs to his interest in the ordinary activities and outdoor experiences of children. Watson also taught at the Regent Street Polytechnic and published a book on figure drawing in 1930. His work was exhibited in Britain and abroad, including in the art competitions associated with the 1932 Olympic Games. He died in London in 1936.

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.
