Title: Towards the Sea at Southwold with Church and High Street Figures Watercolour
By Tony Herbert (1927-2024)
Signed: Bottom right

Description: An evocative view of the coastal town of Southwold, this watercolour by Tony Herbert captures a typical Suffolk street scene leading “Towards the Sea.” The viewer is placed in the middle of a broad high street, where small groups of pedestrians wander in the direction of the distant shoreline. At right, the tower of St Edmund’s Church rises into the sky, rendered in soft shadowy tones that contrast with the sunlit façades of the buildings to the left.
The painting’s warm palette of creams, russets, and greys gives it a gentle rhythm, while the presence of green awnings and shopfronts hints at Southwold’s blend of village charm and seaside appeal. Loose but purposeful brushwork captures both architecture and figures with a lively immediacy, creating a sense of motion without sacrificing clarity.
Southwold is a much-loved coastal town in Suffolk, known for its historic pier, sandy beach, colourful beach huts, and the iconic Adnams brewery. The area has long attracted artists and holidaymakers alike for its unique blend of natural beauty and architectural character — something Herbert’s painting conveys effortlessly.
Perfect for collectors of Suffolk landscapes or lovers of coastal Britain, this piece offers both decorative charm and geographic resonance. Whether displayed in a home by the sea or in a city flat yearning for coastal light, it brings a feeling of fresh air, quiet activity, and timeless English streetscapes.
