James Humbert Craig was almost exclusively a landscape
painter.
On the Tweed
, an early example of his work, was
painted in 1917, just two years after his first submission to the
RHA. It demonstrates some of the qualities which became
characteristic of the majority of his output, namely, the
manipulation of rich impasto in a quick, loose, Impressionistic
manner to describe brooding, cloud-filled skies, landscape and
rushing water, together with an overall sense of the prevailing
atmospherics and fugitive effects of light.
