Title: Fishing Boats and Boat Sheds on Coastal Marsh May 1998 by Tony Herbert
By Tony Herbert (1927-2024)
Inscribed verso in pencil “May 98”
Medium: Watercolor on artists paper
Size: 11 x 15 inches
Condition: Good overall; minor corner wear and subtle warping to paper edge
Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England
Description: Painted in May 1998, this characterful watercolor by Tony Herbert presents a working British coastal scene featuring moored fishing boats, sheds and a red pennant flag fluttering above the shore. The location is likely along the Suffolk or Norfolk coast — a favourite subject in Herbert’s plein air painting practice — though its anonymity allows the viewer to project their own familiarity with such landscapes.
A path leads the eye into the picture, flanked by loosely defined boats and dark, timber-clad huts, while delicate washes of ochre and olive mark the salt-scorched grass in the foreground. Herbert uses wet-in-wet technique to soften the horizon and sky, while dry brushwork and angular strokes articulate details in the boats and buildings. A warm palette of rust-reds and charcoal greys creates visual contrast and a strong sense of local identity.
This scene will resonate with collectors of “British boatyard paintings,” “coastal marsh artwork,” or “fishing hut watercolors.” The red flag, faint figures and upright masts add life and rhythm to the composition, making this not just a landscape, but a quietly human space where work and weather shape the view.
Works from the 1990s form a strong body in Herbert’s later career, often painted on site with minimal overworking. This piece is an excellent example of his naturalistic approach, offering texture, immediacy and mood in equal measure.
