Title: Southwold Coastal Houses with Figures and Yellow Boat Suffolk Watercolour Scene
By Tony Herbert (1927-2024)
Signed: Bottom right
Inscribed verso: “Southwold”
Medium: Watercolor on artists paper
Size: 11 x 15 inches
Condition: good; a clean and well-preserved work with no visible marks or damage

Description: This expressive original watercolour by Tony Herbert captures a fleeting sunlit moment in Southwold, the much-loved Suffolk seaside town famed for its historic harbour, painted beach huts, and maritime architecture. A glowing yellow boat dominates the foreground, its hull catching the late-day light with warm, golden reflections. The boat is moored on a patch of rough grass and framed by the quiet geometry of surrounding cottages and garden fences.
The houses behind — appearing almost silhouetted — are not black-painted timber but rather rendered in deep, cool shadows, a technique Herbert uses to heighten contrast and atmosphere. Their darker forms set off the vibrancy of the yellow boat and the soft amber wash of the surrounding landscape. A lone figure in a red jacket walks between the houses, adding a touch of narrative and drawing the eye toward the distant light.
Herbert’s loose brushwork and warm, natural palette echo the traditions of Modern British landscape painting, combining observational precision with painterly freedom. His compositions often celebrate overlooked, everyday spaces — backstreets, sheds, harbours — brought to life through subtle tonal shifts and fleeting moments of colour.
This piece will appeal to collectors of East Anglian coastal art, particularly those with a connection to Southwold or the Suffolk Coast. Its mix of architectural calm and glowing detail make it ideal for rustic, coastal, or heritage-style interiors. The yellow boat, in particular, gives the painting a focal point that feels both symbolic and familiar.
