Thomas Millie Dow Landscape Drawings and Watercolors
Thomas Millie Dow was born in Dysart, Fife and is considered a member of the Glasgow School. Initially, he studied law but gave it up to pursue a career as an artist. In 1877, he went to Paris, where he studied under Jean-Léon Gérôme and Carolus-Duran. There, he met William Stott of Oldham, who became a lifelong friend and whose style was to have a great influence upon his work. In France, he also spent some time working in Barbizon and Grez-sur-Loin,g where Lavery and other British Impressionist artists were working. Before returning to Scotland, he briefly traveled to America, where he journeyed up the Hudson River to visit the artist Abbott Handerson Thayer who had previously studied with him in Paris. In the winter of 1889, he worked in Morocco and during the 1890s spent a great deal of time in Italy. In 1895, he left Glasgow and settled in St. Ives. Dow painted landscapes, figures, flower subjects and worked in oil, watercolor and pastel. He exhibited extensively.
