Born in Belfast, the son of a tea merchant, during the 1920s and 1930s Craig became one of the leading landscape painters in the north of Ireland. Almost entirely self-taught, he worked mainly in the glens of Antrim, Donegal and Connemara. Together with Paul Henry and Frank McElvey, he established a genuinely Irish school of landscape painting. He is buried in Cushendall. Craig's work is represented in collections such as Armagh County Museum, Bangor Town Hall, the National Gallery of Ireland and the Ulster Museum. Unlike the tranquillity of Craig's other painting in the Queen's University collection, 'Leenane', this work if full of the surge and force of nature; the sky, which predominates the canvas, is full of angry clouds and a storm appears to be brewing over the sea in the background.
