Walter Rossiter PS (16 February 1871 - 1948)[1][2] was an English landscape and garden painter mainly in pastel and watercolour although he also produced some fine examples in oil.
Born in Bath,[3] Walter studied in Paris and Rouen[1][4] and took part in exhibitions at the Walker Gallery in Liverpool, The Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours[4] the Pastel Society, the Paris Salon and in 1913 the Royal Academy.[1][5]
His father Thomas, professional gardener[3], might have been influential in his devotion to paint gardens but he also lived for a time in Kent,[6] where he probably came in touch with the work of Samuel Elgood and Ernest Arthur Rowe, both garden painters living in Kent.[7]
In 1918 after the Exhibition at the Pastel Society, Rossiter received a mention by the critic Ezra Pound on the New Age Magazine.[8][9] Walter Rossiter was a member of the Pastel society and Founder of the Coventry and Warwickshire Society of Artists.[6][1]
