His dedication to painting from life was legendary — he often worked outdoors in the harshest winter conditions, using a specially adapted mobile hut on wheels with a stove inside, so that he could capture the true essence of frost, snow, and low winter sunlight directly from nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1095\" data-end=\"1475\"\u003eElected a member of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1882, Farquharson went on to gain international recognition, exhibiting widely and winning acclaim for his ability to combine natural beauty with poetic atmosphere.
