Rupert Horsley studied art under Sydney Carline and Paul Nash at Oxford. He spent the last twenty years of his life painting watercolours, holding numerous one man exhibitions up and down the country – in London, Newcastle, Durham, Leicester, York, Oxford, Plymouth, Salisbury, Winchester, and Wetton in the Peak District. He liked to paint outside whatever the weather, and his favourite subjects were Venice, the Lake District, Devon/Cornwall, the North East, and the chalk streams and landscapes of Hampshire. He was a member of The Art Worker’s Guild.
