Robert Watson Art
British, 1865-1916
Robert Watson was the son of the Victorian landscape painter William Watson (1809-1871), and the brother of fellow artists Charles Watson (1857-1923) and William Watson Jnr (1847-1921). The favourite subject of all three sons was Scottish highland views, especially those featuring native longhorn cattle. Between 1890 and 1920, Robert Watson exhibited in Glasgow and Liverpool, and today his Scottish landscapes can be found in the collections of numerous UK museums and galleries.to

“Kennebec” Ship Portrait Sidewheeler Steamboat Paddle Steamer Oil on Canvas
Located in Yardley, PA
A striking and historically attentive portrait of the sidewheel steamer Kennebec, built in 1842. Rendered in crisp profile against a soft, painterly sky and calm Atlantic swells, Cameron’s portrait captures the stately elegance of early American steam navigation.
The Kennebec, identified in bold red lettering on her paddle box, is shown under partial sail with twin smokestacks active - suggesting both the hybrid nature of early steam propulsion and the vessel’s readiness for sea. Flying period flags, including a U.S. ensign and company pennants, she presents as a proud representative of the Sanford Steamship Line, for whom she plied the route between Boston, Bangor, and the summer resorts of Maine. Her design, with a wood hull, 230-foot length, and distinctive “hogging truss,” speaks to mid-19th century innovation tailored to coastwise packets.
Cameron’s style is reminiscent of 19th-century ship portraiture yet refined with contemporary technical precision. This is an excellent example of his work.
This work is oil on canvas and is signed in the lower right. It is housed in its original black frame and retains the artist’s description of the ship on the reverse.
Size:
22 inches tall by 44 inches wide (painting)

About the artist:
A Delaware artist, Scott Cameron paints the simple elegance of the America’s Cup races, serene coastal marsh scenes, timeless landscape vistas and historic steamboats in a style reminiscent of the era in which they reigned.
An admirer of Andrew Wyeth and the Brandywine School of painters, Scott has combined the detail and quiet stillness of that School in his landscapes with the Luminist School’s sense of light glowing from within. A soft gentle atmosphere seems to fall over each scene adding to the peacefulness of the setting, and a sense of a time gone by. His America’s Cup scenes capture the action at a moment in time, allowing the beauty of the wind-filled sails to become the central design element of each painting.
Scott Cameron has exhibited his oil paintings in numerous national and regional shows from the Mystic Seaport Museum to solo and group shows in some of the foremost galleries throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states.
Favorite painting locations are the waterways and coastal inlets of Martha’s Vineyard and Maryland’s Eastern Shore and the gentle rolling landscapes of rural Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. Meticulous research is behind every historic steamboat and America’s Cup painting...

“Sheep at Rest in the Highlands” '1914' Antique Oil Painting by Robert Watson
By Robert Watson
Located in Shippensburg, PA
A rich and moving scene that captures the richness of the Highlands at golden hour with the sun dimming over the horizon and casting a diffused palette of pastels through the wisps of clouds overhead, this gorgeous painting is an exceptional example of Robert Watson's work with an unusually romantic atmosphere. A flock of eleven sheep rest among the tall flowing grasses of the Scottish Highlands on a hill overlooking a distant body of water, the breeze gently ruffling the wool along their backs. Likely captured in fall, the hills are warm with browns, greens and yellows, subtle hints of flowers and stones, reeds and bushes in the impressionistic landscape. The work is executed in oil on canvas and is signed lower right "R. Watson" and dated 1914.
Born on March 9th of 1865 in Brighton, Sussex to animal painter William Watson (London, 1809-1871), Robert William Watson trained under his father along with his two older brothers, Charles (1837-1900) and William Junior (1847-1921) for what would become a family occupation. He and his brother William were the most successful of the family, all of whom focused primarily on Highland paintings...
