Country Landscape was painted in 1927 by Dawson Dawson-Watson. In the background of this typical country scene, a barn sits on the horizon. A barbed-wire fence surrounds the meadow with two cacti blooming along the edge. The soft, colorful pastel palette and painterly brushwork are classic elements of his signature impressionistic style. Dawson-Watson is among the most sought after early Texas artists to work in this style. It is an exceptionally beautiful example of Texas Impressionism.

Dawson-Watson was born in London, England, in 1864. Before coming to this country in 1893, he had exhibited at the Royal Academy, London, Paris Salon, Exposition Universelle, Paris, Royal Cambrian Academy, and the Royal Canadian Academy. He showed at most of the exhibitions of importance in the United States. He is represented in many museums, libraries, and private collections, both here and abroad.
