Title: Stormy Skies Over Marsh and Hills Laugharne South Wales 1994 Watercolour
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 charming 1994 watercolour by British artist Tony Herbert captures the colourful shoreline of Borth-y-Gest, a picturesque harbour village near Porthmadog in North Wales. Painted at low tide, the scene features beached sailboats scattered across a muddy estuary foreground, with soft reflections in the pools of receding water. A cluster of cream-coloured cottages and townhouses line the far bank, nestled against a rise of dark trees and topped by a cloudy but brightening sky.
Herbert’s use of colour here is particularly delightful: the distinctive red sails of two boats animate the otherwise gentle palette of greys, greens, and browns, drawing the viewer’s eye across the canvas. The composition is balanced, peaceful, and full of subtle detail — from the angular rooftops to the softly rendered distant hills beyond the estuary.
Borth-y-Gest is a sought-after subject among collectors of Welsh coastal art due to its distinctive mix of seafaring heritage and architectural charm. Originally a small fishing port, it became popular in the Victorian era for its sweeping views and sheltered bay. This painting reflects Herbert’s typical approach to plein-air sketching: light, responsive, and deeply rooted in his personal travels around the British coast.
A beautiful and well-composed piece that would appeal to collectors of Welsh coastal scenes, British seaside villages, and 20th-century watercolours.
