Charles Harmony Harrison (1842-1902) was a painter born in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. He was apprenticed as a sign-writer developing his skills of applying and mixing of paints. In 1870 he was gifted a box of watercolour paints and his long-buried artistic ambitions were rekindled and he commenced work as a professional artist. In 1876 he moved to London, hoping to improve his painting technique but after barely a year financial problems caused a return to Great Yarmouth. He continued to paint landscapes and showed at the Ipswich Art Club 1884-91 and with the Norfolk & Norwich Art Circle, 1886-88. He is also recorded as having shown at the RI. After turning 50 he became increasingly deaf, developed rheumatism and depression and due to poor business acumen and attempting to support 13 children he was forced to churn out hundreds of small pictures for quick sale. He died in Great Yarmouth at the age of 60. Great Yarmouth Museums hold examples of his work.
