Crofton artist’s work selected to hang in King’s Royal Collection
The selection crowns decades of CSPWC donations, with 100 contemporary Canadian watercolours added to the Royal Collection over the society’s anniversary project.
- One of Harold Allanson's paintings was recently selected for donation to the Royal Collection Trust of King Charles III, where it will be displayed at Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace.
- Marking its 100th anniversary, the Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour has contributed 100 contemporary Canadian watercolours to the Royal Collection, with previous installments donated in 1985 and 2000.
- Drawing from lived experience, Crofton-based artist Allanson creates scenes of working life, coastlines, and cowboys, with most pieces beginning from photographs he has taken himself.
- In December, Allanson travelled to Toronto, Ontario, to participate in the CSPWC's 100th anniversary gala dinner, joining other selected artists in collective recognition of the long-term initiative.
- Back in Crofton, the studio remains quiet as Allanson continues painting when he can, balancing his work with workshops for local artists and time with his wife, Merrily, and dog, Jenny.
