Albert Goodwin Art

British, 1845-1932

Albert Goodwin was a notable English landscape painter, specializing in watercolors.

Goodwin was born in Maidstone, in Kent, the son of a builder and one of nine children. After leaving school, he became an apprentice draper. His exceptional artistic ability was recognized at an early age and he went on to study with the Pre-Raphaelite artists Arthur Hughes and Ford Madox Brown with the latter predicting that he would become one of the greatest landscape painters of the age.

At the age of 15, Goodwin’s first painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy. He became an associate member of the Royal Watercolour Society (RWS) in 1876. He was championed by famed art critic John Ruskin, who took him on a tour of Europe, where he made many sketches from nature, which were later turned into watercolors. During his lifetime, he traveled extensively throughout Britain and Europe, and visited many other countries.

Goodwin was a prolific artist, producing over 800 works and continuing to paint well into his 80s. His wide variety of landscape subjects reflected his love of travel and showed the influence of Turner, with whom he felt a strong affinity. In later works, Goodwin developed experimental techniques, such as using ink over watercolor, to achieve atmospheric lighting effects. His works are also an important record of social history.

Provenance: Sarasota, Florida estate. William (Bill) Paxton 1930—2007 William Paxton, born August 5, 1930 in Lewiston, was one of Maine’s top selling artists. He had a passion for painting and from a young age he was known for his talents in sketching. Paxton captured many popular Maine scenes with watercolor, acrylic, and oils. His work also includes historical scenes he referenced in books from as early as the 1920’s, painting locomotives, aircraft, and war scenes. Paxton’s art is sold all over the world. As a student at Bridgton Academy, he was featured in his yearbook. It states, “When artist Bill picks up his pen, we all stand at attention, for his remarks and pictures are certainly worth mention.” He wanted to pursue a career selling his art, but it was during the time of the Great Depression. Also in his younger years, Paxton had an interest in skiing and won a medal for Second Highest Ski Jump. From there he went to flying and received a certification for Second-in-Command, to fly alongside the captain in a C-46F type of aircraft. He then joined the Air Force in the 40’s, although his passion and talents for art were constant throughout his life. Paxton quickly became the front line military sketch...
