Thomas Huson, R.I. (1844-1920), was a notable artist known for his contributions to the art world. Originally trained as a chemist, he later turned to painting, leaving a lasting impact on the artistic community.
 
In 1883, Huson achieved recognition by being elected as a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours (R.I.), underscoring the high regard in which his work was held. His proficiency in the watercolour medium is evident in paintings like this one, where he adeptly captures light and shadow with keen observation.
 
The artist consistently signed his works with 'Thos Huson RI,' a distinctive mark that has become synonymous with his name and association with the Royal Institute.
 
Huson spent a significant part of his life in Liverpool before relocating to Bala around 1907. This move may have influenced a shift in the themes and subjects of his artwork, as artists often draw inspiration from their surroundings.
 
Thomas Huson's artistic legacy endures, and his work continues to be appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts. His work consistently fetch good prices at auctions.
