Biography

According to a catalogue from The Bermuda Society of Arts entitled, “Loan Exhibition from Private Collections, July 27th – August 30th, 1963,” “William Freeman Snow, who worked mostly in oils, was one of the most popular painters of the Bermuda scene between 1930 and 1950.” His oils, the catalogue adds were “treasured in many an old home, usually hung in a place of honour. His lacy waves breaking on the beaches, his delicately outlined clouds, his luminous atmosphere shimmering over gleaming houses embedded in cedar groves and encircled by oleanders, give his paintings a distinctive character.”

William Freeman Snow had a studio off a lane that ran along-side the base of Lighthouse Hill, Southampton, overlooking Waterlot Inn. The present work seems to depict  a scene not far from his studio.
