Size: 11.25 x 14 inches

Description: A vibrant and atmospheric 1978 watercolour landscape by British artist Tony Herbert 1927 to 2024 depicting Bude Canal in north Cornwall. The composition captures the peaceful charm of this historic waterway known for its unique system of inclined planes and its role in connecting Bude to inland agriculture during the 19th century. The scene features a rustic green boathouse and adjacent red structure on the towpath flanked by lush vegetation and a wide stretch of canal water beneath a dynamic sky.
A trio of figures and a red rowing boat add a human presence to the otherwise serene environment while Herbert’s fluid brushwork and earthy palette evoke the textures of damp ground shimmering water and overcast Cornish skies. The watercolour is painted on Ogram
Robison artist board a professional material favoured for its durability and consistent surface.
This is a classic example of Tony Herbert’s plein air style and his enduring love for overlooked or pastoral corners of the British countryside. His ability to quietly observe and render place with both immediacy and structure makes his work increasingly popular among collectors of British watercolours and regional landscapes.
Ideal for collectors of Cornish art canal and boating scenes or 20th century English landscape painting.

Low Tide Coastal Scene Appledore Harbour Devon Watercolour Landscape 1987
Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
Title: Low Tide Coastal Scene Appledore Harbour Devon Watercolour Landscape 1987
By Tony Herbert (1927-2024)
Medium: Watercolor on artists paper
Size: 11 x 15 inches
Annotated Verso: “Appledore 87”
Condition: Very good; paper edges are deckled, with minimal age-related wear. Colours remain clean and fresh.
Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England
Description: A peaceful and evocative watercolour landscape by British artist Tony Herbert 1927 to 2024 titled Appledore 87. This coastal painting captures the harbour at Appledore a historic fishing village on the North Devon coast known for its wide tidal estuary and charming maritime architecture. Painted in 1987 the work features a muted palette of soft browns greys and greens reflecting the exposed seabed at low tide with delicate tonal precision.
The buildings are rendered with Herbert’s signature economy and architectural sensitivity anchoring the composition while the surrounding mudflats and distant hills suggest atmospheric stillness. The large warehouse like structure may be part of Appledore’s old shipbuilding or fishing infrastructure adding a layer of industrial charm to the otherwise tranquil setting.
This piece exemplifies Tony Herbert’s deep affinity for British coastal scenes and his lifelong dedication to plein air watercolour painting. His works are held in private collections across the UK and are increasingly sought after for their subtle charm and observational skill.
