| Born in Fingal, Tasmania, Francis McComas became noted for his
paintings, many in Tonalist style, of California oaks, cypress trees,
desert landscape and Indian subjects. His specialty was
watercolor. For twenty-six years he "was a key figure in the
development of California watercolor painting and was an inspiration to
younger artists who were considering pursuing watercolors as their
primary painting medium". (McClelland 159) However, he also did many
oil paintings and mural (showing 500 of 5011 characters). |
