Walter Mason Oddie was a prominent 19th-century American landscape painter and a member of the Hudson River School. Primarily self-taught before studying under Robert Walter Weir, he became an Associate of the National Academy of Design in 1833. His work focuses on the atmospheric qualities of the natural world, often placing small human figures within vast, looming environments to emphasize the scale of the wilderness. The name also encompasses the work of Mary E. Oddie, a British painter active during the early-to-mid 20th century. She is recognized for her floral still lifes, which utilize a heavy impasto technique to create physical depth on the canvas. Her contributions were recognized through exhibitions at the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the Royal College of Art during the 1930s.
