Description: A richly atmospheric 1981 watercolour by British artist Tony Herbert 1927 to 2024 depicting a view over the countryside at Seaton a seaside town in East Devon. Seen through a screen of bare winter trees and flowering garden shrubs the painting captures the layered visual texture of garden walls wild flora a distant boat on the river and open rolling fields beyond.
Herbert's painterly brushwork contrasts fine linear trees with looser impressions of hedgerows and clouds. The inclusion of a purple flowering plant in the foreground and a benchlike boat shape in the middle distance add gentle colour notes and narrative intrigue. Seaton itself lies along the Jurassic Coast a UNESCO World Heritage Site famed for its geological interest and sweeping coastal views. This painting captures a more intimate inland perspective likely from a raised garden or terrace on the edge of town.
A fine example of Tony Herbert’s lifelong devotion to painting the English landscape this work blends natural observation with architectural cues and seasonal atmosphere. Ideal for collectors of Devon scenes and 20th century British landscape watercolours especially those seeking an artwork that captures the quiet beauty of rural gardens and river valley views.

This forest scene invites the viewer into a multi-sensory event where the cool, damp shadows of the foliage can almost be felt and the rich bouquet of the forest floor recalled. Here, Sherlock has chosen a somewhat unusual angle and composition, dissecting each truck and tree form so that only a part can be seen. Furthermore, as we look into the depths of this space it becomes clear that we are stood gazing down into a valley that is in the distance, behind this wooded area. Indeed, instead of giving us an uninterrupted view of this vista, as perhaps would be expected, this view is deliberately blocked and our focus is directed instead towards the organic forms in the foreground.
The Artist
Marjorie Sherlock was born at Fir Tree Cottage, George Lane, Wanstead, Essex, on 3 February 1891, the elder child of the civil engineer, Henry Sherlock, and his wife, Alice (née Platts), who was born in Benares, India. By 1901, the family was living at ‘The Limes’, 121 Mill Road, Cambridge, and Marjorie received an education locally. In 1918, she entered into marriage with her cousin, Major Wilfrid Barrett, though this proved unsuccessful and they later divorced (he remarrying in 1941). She then continued to live at the family home until the Second World War.
During the First World War, Marjorie Sherlock studied at Westminster Technical Institute under the Camden Town School painters, Walter Sickert and Harold Gilman.
She exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts from 1917, when she showed a powerful view of the interior of Liverpool Street Station (Government Art Collection) (to which the current etching [202] relates). In time, she would exhibit at the International Society, the New English Art Club, the Royal Society of British Artists, the Society of 207 Graphic Art and the Women’s International Art Club (becoming a member of the last two). She also showed work internationally.
Developing as a printmaker as well as a painter, Sherlock studied etching under Malcolm Osborne at the Royal College of Art in 1925. She published her etchings in four series, the titles of which indicate her love of travel: ‘English Etchings, ‘Egyptian Etchings’ (both 1925), ‘German Etchings’ (1929) and ‘Indian Etchings’ (1932). During this period, she also visited the united States. More admiring of Continental painters than British ones, she furthered her studies, in 1938, by working in Paris under André L’Hôte and André Dunoyer de Segonzac.
During the Second World War, Sherlock moved to East Devon and settled at Oxenways, a Victorian hunting lodge...
