On May 27, 2005 Canada Post issued two stamps
bearing the work of Homer Watson to recognize
the 150th anniversary of Watson's birth, the
125th anniversary of the National Gallery of
Canada, and the 125th anniversary of the Royal
Canadian Academy of Art, of which Watson was a
founding member.
Throughout his career, he was often called the
'Canadian Constable' because his style of
painting was so reminiscent of the British
artist John Constable.
