Lovely Jack Humphrey nautical abstract watercolor – signed lower left.

Jack Weldon Humphrey (Canadian, 1901 – 1967) was a Canadian landscape and figure painter, mainly in watercolour. Humphrey was born in Saint John, New Brunswick. He studied at the school of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, under Philip Hale and painting at the National Academy of Design, the Art Students League of New York, and Charles Hawthorn's Cape Cod School. He was a Tiffany Foundation student at Oyster Bay, Long Island, 1927.

He also travelled in Italy, Holland, Belgium, and England. He visited Vancouver in 1933 and Mexico in 1938.

Humphrey's paintings of the harbour, streets, and workers of Saint John, Canada, established his reputation as a regional artist and his work extended to numerous portraits of friends and the city's children. Making no concessions to fashion, Humphrey's tough, honest approach made him a respected member of Montreal's Contemporary Art Society and the Canadian Group of Painters.
