Label TextDawson-Watson painted impressionistic landscapes with wildflowers. He was born and studied art in England. His family immigrated to the United States. He settled in San Antonio, Texas. The artist said, “Your bluebonnets are lovely, graceful, but they lack the striking individuality of the cactus. . . . It seems to me that its centuries of blooming in the Texas sun has actually transferred some of the sunshine to the golden cactus flower. For character and color it is the most interesting flower you have.”
