He was active in Glasgow, Paris and London and lived in Paris for some time, returning to London in 1922.

He has also painted some poignant war scenes, one of which is in the London National Army Museum of ‘Soldiers Marching Past Ruined French Farm Buildings’. He also has works in the National Maritime Museum, Glasgow University and Stourhead House.

Lawson exhibited at the International Society of Artists, the Royal Academy and the Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts.
