One of the first people to comment on Edwin's work on the web was arts blogger and sometime anarchist illustrator Richard Warren. His piece Outsider Modernism: Edwin G Lucas highlights some of Edwin's surrealist works. I think Edwin would have liked his comment "Lucas seems to have noticed that the rules were there to be broken, and to have set about breaking them with an entirely original abandon, paying only superficial attention to the orthodoxies of the avant garde".
The American-Scottish Foundation has chosen Edwin's painting Pentland Hills from Kingsknowe, Winter as one of just six selected from 30,000 publicly-owned oil paintings in Scotland, to help draw attention to the work of the Public Catalogue Foundation. Other artists selected include John Duncan Fergusson and Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell.
