Born near Clairmont, Ontario Thomson was the elder brother of Tom Thomson.
George was a fine painter in his own right spending his early years in Leith, Ontario and
studying law at the University of Washington, Seattle, 1901.
For a time he ran a business school in Seattle but took up painting in 1906 and
studied at the Art Students League, New York as well as the Old Lyme, Connecticut.
Thomson lived in New Haven from c.1908-26. He submitted and sold paintings
through the Royal Canadian Academy from 1918-1950. In 1926 he returned to Canada and
lived in Owen Sound to continue to paint mostly landscapes in oil.
A booklet on the artist was published by John A. Libby. See "Shop" on this website for details.
