Really impressive work. I too like his monochrome work but I love the coloured one of the four posted above.

That’s what we’re here for to inspire you good folk .  Anthony Avery 1946- 2023, was a British artist born in Malvern close to the Welsh border, who was  known as an impressionist using watercolour. Often described as a painter’s painter his brushwork is captivating capturing a spontaneous moment in time, using dappled light in the traditional impressionist techniques. Sadly not a great deal of information, well I can’t find much about him , hopefully one of you might be able to build on the introduction. I’ve been a bit greedy choosing his work as there are so many fine examples , hope you enjoy my selection.

Thank you for indulging your greed!   He had a lovely touch - gone too soon, as well: 77 is no age these days (if you're 75 you have a vested interested in insisting on that)... I couldn't find much about him either, but will try again in the dewy light of dawn...

Died of oesophogeal cancer, it seems.  He had a Facebook page which is well worth a look; and clearly lived a rewarding life, with a loved family.

Beautiful paintings Paul, a lovely delicate touch, beautiful colours. I'll look and see what I can find although I doubt I'll do any better than you and Robert.  Quite agree with you Robert, 77 is no age at all these days (especially if you are nearly 81!).

Painterly scenes, I particularly like the first and sixth of your posts, Dixie, tranquil comes to mind. I agree, also, Sandra, 77 is no age. I'm still going strong and hope to do so for many years to come.

Fine watercolours Dixie, and my favourite is the last. I’m also a member of the “wrong side of 70” club! Let’s keep going folks. Incidentally am I the only one to be annoyed by the latest competition pop up! 😞

Let’s get this straight there isn’t a wrong side of seventy , it’s the right side of a hundred. More people are taking to art in the latter part of life now , not purely painting but variety of things, certainly make the grey matter work for you most also say it’s more of a return as family and work got in the way . As to this artist his work is extremely good, his ability to create such excellent washes etc is down to hard work and dedication to develop his skills.

Tessa, I have found the competition pop up extremely irritating today, especially on the phone as it obscures the whole page. What with that and the AI thing, I have almost thrown in the towel.

I wouldnt mind if it popped up just the once, but it happens again when you move to different sections

Irritating and annoying! I thought if I put an entry in it might not reappear- apparently not. 😞
