Description:
A bold and expressive watercolour by John Steane (b.1931), inscribed on the reverse as “Dorset Coastline.” This dynamic coastal composition captures the drama of the Jurassic Coast’s iconic cliffs and inlets, with jagged rock formations descending into clear tidal pools and swirling surf. The distinctive angular chalk and limestone formations suggest a location near Lulworth Cove or Durdle Door, famous for their sculptural coastal geology.
Painted with a combination of fluid washes and gestural linework, this piece showcases Steane’s skill in blending topographical observation with artistic abstraction. The sea is rendered in shades of deep green and aquamarine, lapping against layered rock formations streaked with russet and ochre. Vivid dashes of red and orange suggest exposed seaweed or mineral-rich terrain, while the large foreground boulder anchors the composition with a strong sense of place and scale.
This painting is ideal for collectors of British coastal art, geology-themed works, or expressive landscape watercolours with regional significance. It offers both an immersive scene and a tribute to the rugged beauty of one of the UK’s most celebrated natural coastlines.

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Lu Haskew 1921-2009
"Life is good to me. Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons."
Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on
