Edward Horace Thompson (pseudo Donald Paton, 1879 - 1949): watercolour, View of Arran, image 13 x 8 cm, overall 40 x 35 cm.
Thompson was best known for his Cumbrian landscapes. In 1924, he started using a pseudonym Donald Paton for some of this works. The theories behind this are twofold; it was either to increase sales in Cockermouth as it is said that Cumbrian’s didn’t rate the local artists; or it was because a London art dealer, who mainly dealt with Scottish clients, asked him to change it as he felt his art would sell better in Scotland with the new name.
