George Houston was born at West Lynn, Dalry, Ayrshire, Houston lived most of his life around Ayrshire, Edinburgh and Argyll, although he was widely travelled for his time, visiting Japan in 1911. He is best known for his consistently high technical skill, capturing the atmosphere and changing climate and seasons of his favourite Argyll and Ayrshire. He painted mainly in oil and watercolour but also produced etchings.

Houston exhibited at the RSA (1898-1948), at the RGI (1882- 1949) and some of his work was shown at the RSA 1976 Centenary Exhibition. Died Dalry, Ayrshire.
