In the inter-war years, Lyons Wilson worked as a painter for the Cunard Shipping Line, creating painting for their interiors. His strong art deco, English modernist style was ideal for the role, as typified by works like this fine snow scene of the river Exe close to his home in nearby Tiverton. He particularly excelled in watercolour, the painter Richard Eurich claiming him as “the best watercolourist of his time”.
