One of a pair of Isle of Skye paintings that we have available by this artist. Coire Lagan is one of the most impressive corries in the Cuillin, a tiny loch ringed by gigantic rock peaks.

He had a lifetime interest in climbing and hill walking in the Lake District, Wales, the Pennines and Scotland, which was beautifully reflected in his sought after watercolours, that captured mountains, rocky becks, old farm buildings and the dramatic effects of the weather on the landscape. A retrospective exhibition of his works was held at the Upfront Gallery in 2017.

  • Laiguelia - Coastal Beach Village on Italian Riviera Large Watercolor Painting
    Located in Sevenoaks, GB
    A quite wonderful signed and dated 1959 large scale watercolour depicting the Riviera town of Laigueglia in Northern Italy. This is a lively scene with sailor in a striped t-shirt bringing in his ropes, as a sun bather in swimming trunks chats with a figure holding a large pole, possibly a sand spike or fishing rod. Locals go about their business in the background and mamas hang their washing from balconies to dry. The quality of this modernist work is superb throughout with fine detail and excellent rendering of the numerous figures and boats. Inscribed, signed and dated lower left. Artist: R. T. Horley (British, 20th century) Title: Laigueglia Medium: Watercolour & wash over pencil Size: 15.5 x 22.5 inches (39 x 57 cm) unframed We can arrange framing to your specification if required Laigueglia is a small coastal town situated along the Riviera di Ponente in the northern Italian coastal region of Liguria Laigueglia is a town that has maintained a more peaceful aspect and atmosphere, typical of a classic Ligurian seaside village.

  • The Medway, Rochester - Large Modern British Kent Landscape Watercolor Painting
    Located in Sevenoaks, GB
    A beautiful large signed and dated 1937 watercolour by Roland Vivian Pitchforth RA depicting the River Medway at Rochester in Kent. Fine quality and important pre-war view of Rochester by this important Modern British painter. A leading example the artists output. The work comes with impeccable provenance - it was previously sold through the prestigious dealership Wildenstein & Co. Limited of New Bond Street, London and owned by F.M.S. Winand, who was a very important collector of Modern British art. There are also several loan exhibition labels. F.M.S. Winand owned works by the most important British artists of the early to mid 20th century, including Augustus John, Christopher Wood and Sir William Nicholson. An exhibition of Winand's Collection was held at the Kensington Art Gallery in 1949 - it is quite possible that this painting was exhibited at that time. Signed and dated lower right and presented in a beautiful painted wood frame which has been finished with ultra clear UV resistant glass. Artist: Roland Vivian Pitchforth RA (British, 1895-1982) Title: The Medway, Rochester Medium: Watercolour on paper Size: 25.5 x 30 inches (65 x 76 cm) including the frame Signed: Lower right Provenance: Widenstein & Co.
