Title: British Impressionist Watercolor of a Coastal Scene with Kite Flyers
by Anthony Avery (British 1946-2023)
Original watercolor on artists paper, unframed
Dimensions: 11.25 x 15 inches (Height x Width)
Condition: Good, with some minor signs of aging.
Provenance: from a large collection of this artists work, held in England.
Description: This evocative watercolor painting by Anthony Avery (1946-2023) beautifully captures the essence of a leisurely day by the seaside, rendered in his characteristic British Impressionist style. The composition leads the viewer’s eye through a gentle yet expansive shoreline where a mix of figures gathers along the water’s edge, immersing in the coastal atmosphere. Subtle, carefully placed kites float in the sky, suggesting a light breeze that enhances the tranquil yet lively setting.
Avery’s masterful use of soft, diffused light and his delicate brushwork highlight the varied textures of the scene, from the smooth expanse of the sea to the fine grains of sand underfoot. The sky is adorned with cumulus clouds that appear almost weightless, each given dimension with expertly layered washes that capture the play of light. The muted yet vibrant blues and sandy earth tones meld harmoniously, establishing a visual rhythm that mirrors the ebb and flow of the waves along the beach.
In the foreground, groups of silhouetted figures interact along the shoreline, each stance and gesture suggesting moments of joy and relaxation. Some individuals seem to be raising their arms to feel the sea breeze, while others appear to be pointing or gazing at the distant horizon, where the sea fades into the soft hues of the distant landscape. The figures are rendered with just enough detail to imply movement and interaction, yet remain anonymous, allowing the viewer to imagine themselves as part of the scene.
The reflection of the sky on the water’s surface is delicately mirrored, giving a sense of boundless openness that complements the painting’s overall calm and inviting atmosphere. Avery’s nuanced palette and subtle transitions between light and shadow bring the scene to life, capturing not just a beach, but a memory of summers past and the universal appeal of the seaside.
This piece is an ideal acquisition for those who appreciate coastal landscapes that celebrate the beauty of nature and the simple pleasures of a day by the sea. Avery’s work here exemplifies his ability to evoke the mood of a place, inviting viewers to linger within the painting’s serene and uplifting embrace.

"Sunset (Shelter Island) 06.06.2021" watercolor of colorful seascape and sky
By Nelson White
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
Painted en plein air.
Frame Dimensions: 9 x 15in
Artist Bio:
Nelson H. White was born in New London, Connecticut in 1932. White has been surrounded by art and artists from the time he was born. He received his earliest art instruction from his grandfather, Henry Cooke White (1861-1952) and his father Nelson Cooke White (1900-1989), both important American artists. The family lived in Waterford, Connecticut and the elder White had been an early member of the art colony in Old Lyme, Connecticut. Known for his paintings of the Connecticut landscape and shoreline, Henry Cooke White became a teacher to his son, Nelson Cooke White. Living with his parents at the Florence Griswold house in Old Lyme, he met some of the most important and influential artists of the day, Childe Hassam, Will Howe Foote and Harry Hoffman.
Later, Nelson White's father began to take his family to summer on Shelter Island and became friendly with many of the artists of the Peconic colony such as Irving Wiles, an important American impressionist. After graduating from the Tabor Academy in Marion, Massachusetts in 1951, Nelson H. White began to study at Mitchell College in Connecticut but left to pursue studies in the violin, musical theory and composition. At this time, he began to spend more time studying art with his father and grandfather. By 1955, Nelson H. White had decided to devote himself to a career as a painter and traveled to Florence, Italy to become an apprentice to Pietro Annigoni, the world-renowned Florentine master. Within two years, the young White had won two awards for his work. While in Florence he also studied with the great Italian teacher, Nerina Simi. Today, White divides his time between the United States and Florence. White is still actively involved with studies at The Florence Academy of Art in Florence, Italy.
Although he has received instruction from some very important artists, White's work is highly individual. He paints with great spirit...
