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]
