Description: This evocative watercolour by Tony Herbert captures the charm of Southwold High Street as evening falls. The composition draws us into the warmth of a lively town centre, where golden light spills from shop windows onto the pavement and passers-by move in and out of shadow. Known for his observational skill and sensitivity to mood, Herbert presents a recognisably British street scene that is both place-specific and timeless.
Southwold’s distinctive rooftops and historic architecture are silhouetted against a fading blue sky, rendered with loose brushwork and softened edges. Figures are painted gesturally, their movement and presence more important than fine detail — a hallmark of Herbert’s style. Cars line the street and a warm glow radiates from windows, suggesting the transition from day to night, solitude to sociability.
Works like this show Herbert’s deep appreciation for daily life and his ability to find poetry in the ordinary. His treatment of light and shadow imbues this familiar townscape with atmosphere and memory, capturing a fleeting moment in a beloved Suffolk setting.
An excellent piece for collectors of East Anglian art or admirers of British urban watercolours, this work would sit beautifully in a hallway, living room, or study — particularly for those with personal ties to Southwold or a love of coastal towns at dusk.

by Anthony Avery (British 1946-2023)
Original watercolor on artists paper, unframed
Dimensions: 11.25 x 15.25 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 watercolor painting captures the essence of a quaint village street, gently sloping towards a central square dominated by a stately town hall. The town hall, bathed in soft sunlight, stands proudly with its clock tower and arched windows, exuding a sense of timeless charm and importance in the community. The light facade contrasts beautifully against the darker tones of surrounding buildings, drawing the viewer’s eye upwards.
The street itself is lined with buildings in muted colors, their facades showing signs of age and character, with textured brushstrokes suggesting a blend of plaster, stone, and weathered shutters. Shadows play across the road, adding depth and leading the viewer's gaze towards the focal point of the town hall. A few subtle figures...
