Description:
This signed watercolour painting by John Steane (b.1931) presents a meditative view of the Dorset coast, with a sweeping expanse of layered tide marks, foreshore textures, and a distant green headland. Titled in pencil on the reverse Dorset Coast, this undated work explores both the geological and emotional richness of the shoreline—combining careful observation with expressive mark-making and natural abstraction.
The composition moves gently from the pebble-strewn foreground, dotted with ochre, lavender, and sage green tones, to the fluid brushwork of the sea, with bands of reflected light and muted colour creating a sense of rhythm and depth. Steane’s shoreline is one of transition—where water meets land, colour meets silence, and the eye is carried outward to the distant cliff edge disappearing into soft coastal haze.
Dorset’s Jurassic Coast has long been revered for its fossil-rich terrain, rugged headlands, and sweeping beaches. Works like this capture not only the natural beauty of the region but also a sense of quiet observation, appealing to collectors of British seascapes, abstract coastal studies, and mid-century watercolours that blur the line between landscape and pattern.
This is a reflective, elegant piece—ideal for interior settings with a calm, natural palette or for anyone with a personal connection to the south coast of England.
