About the artist

Although not a Liverpool artist, Wilson is included among their ranks because many of his paintings suggest a Liverpool influence. He was essentially a painter of the Hull Marine School being based there for most of his career. Five of his paintings survive at the Town Docks Museum in Hull. Wilson specialized in ship’s portraiture, usually done in large scale watercolors. However, he also produced many fine oils.
