Title: Venice Palazzo With Artists Painting En Plein Air Original Watercolour Scene
By Tony Herbert (1927-2024)
Signed: Bottom right corner
Medium: Watercolor on paper, unframed
Size: 13.25 inches (height) x 20.5 inches (width)
Condition: good, will some signs on wear consistent with aging
Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England
Description: This charming and atmospheric watercolour captures a quiet moment of artistic activity in front of a Venetian palazzo, likely during a warm afternoon. The ochre and terracotta façade of the building is adorned with intricate Gothic windows and white balustrades, typical of Venetian architecture. A group of artists and onlookers is depicted in the foreground, scattered across the square—some seated at easels, others gathered in quiet conversation or observing. Their presence lends a narrative quality to the piece, suggesting a community or workshop setting that celebrates creativity in situ.
A large tree casts deep, cool shadows across the left side of the composition, balancing the bright Mediterranean light that falls on the right-hand wall and pavement. The brushwork is loose and confident, with colour bleeding between forms in a way that reinforces the soft texture of stone, tree canopy, and fabric. The inclusion of children and casual stances adds an endearing informality to the scene, evoking the feel of a sketchbook study painted on location. It's a celebration of the rhythm of everyday life in Venice and of the quiet discipline of plein air painters working together.

"Basilica" - Venice - Architectural Watercolor Painting - Turner
By Mclean Jenkins
Located in Atlanta, GA
"Basilica" is a graphite and watercolor painting of an architectural detail of the San Marco Basilica in Venice, Italy. This piece is 20.5 by 16.25 inches framed.
McLean Jenkins is inspired by the work of JMW Turner, Richard Diebenkorn and Louis Khan.
McLean Jenkins is a practicing architect with McAlpine and his work derives from and celebrates the classical forms of his trade. Working in graphite, ink and watercolor, McLean employs a gestural approach that frees his hand to explore a subject’s essence. His compositions rely on the quick, decisive sketch and are then given over to the whims and splashes of watercolor. Spontaneity, movement and spirit are all emphasized and his drawings collectively form their own narrative of his passion for architecture.
The city of Venice has captured McLean’s imagination since his first trip there as a 12 year old boy. Over the years a kind of courtship with the city has evolved, and its impact has motivated and sustained his development as both architect and artist. His work depicting the city has been recognized within the architectural profession by the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation in its award to McLean of the J. Neel Reid...

Venice Backwater, Painting, Watercolor on Watercolor Paper
By Daniel Clarke
Located in Yardley, PA
I looked out from my window, and I saw Venice, my Venice, naked in the sun— Sad, faded, and unutterably forlorn!— But still unutterably beautiful. For days and days I wandered up and down— Holding my breath in awe and ecstasy,— Following my husband to familiar haunts, Making acquaintance with his well-loved friends, Whose faces I had only seen in dreams And books and photographs and his careless talk. For days and days—with sunny hours of rest And musing chat, in that cool room of ours, Paved with white marble, on the Grand Canal; For days and days—with happy nights between, Half-spent, while little Katie lay asleep Out on the balcony, with the moon and stars. O Venice, Venice!—with thy water-streets— Thy gardens bathed...
