Description: This striking coastal scene by Tony Herbert (1927–2024) presents a quiet estuary village with a red-and-white boat overturned on the grass in the foreground and a distinctive stone church tower rising at centre. The title inscribed on the reverse — Hope Borth 88 — likely refers to the Welsh seaside village of Borth, located north of Aberystwyth, with the word “Hope” possibly denoting the church or street name nearby. Painted in 1988, this composition reflects Herbert’s enduring fascination with regional British landscapes, particularly those along riverbanks and shorelines.
The painting’s atmosphere is subdued and open, with muted sky tones suggesting a still day and calm light. The limited palette — cool greys, warm ochres, deep greens — enhances the feeling of a settled place, almost timeless in its stillness. A yellow dinghy rests quietly on the sand, and the houses to the right, including one with a slate roof and tall chimney stack, feel quintessentially Welsh in character.
Herbert’s architectural attention and clean compositional balance — beach, wall, road, row of homes — result in a painting that feels both spontaneous and carefully observed. An ideal piece for collectors of British watercolour, Welsh coastal art, or late-20th-century regional painting.
