Title: Mountain Village with Grassy Foreground and Blue Sky Black Rock Sands Wales
By Tony Herbert (1927-2024)
Medium: Watercolor on board, unframed
Size: 10.5 inches (height) x 14.75 inches (width)
Condition: good, with some signs on wear consistent with aging
Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England
Description: This 1976 landscape by Tony Herbert captures the bold terrain surrounding Black Rock Sands, a popular beach near Porthmadog in North Wales, known for its sweeping coastal views and dramatic inland hills. Here, Herbert shifts focus from the shoreline to the nearby village and mountainous backdrop — likely Moel-y-Gest — rising in warm tones behind a neat scattering of white cottages.
The composition is finely balanced between the rich yellow-brown of the grassy foreground and the softened geometry of the hills beyond, painted in layered washes of umber, sienna, and green. The sky, rendered in crisp blues and whites, adds a sense of clarity and calm to the rugged landscape. Herbert’s brushwork is confident yet light, allowing the natural contours and textures of the land to emerge organically.
Black Rock Sands — or Morfa Bychan in Welsh — is part of the wider Snowdonia landscape and remains a favourite among walkers, campers, and artists. While many painters capture the bay itself, Herbert’s inland perspective offers a rarer view: one that emphasises the harmony between mountain, village, and plain.
This piece will appeal to collectors of Welsh scenery, vintage rural studies, and 20th-century British watercolours that balance topographical interest with artistic sensitivity.
