Original Watercolour ’Harbour Wall, Lyme Regis’ by Alec Butson - Exhibition RBA Invitation 1983 - Signed & Dated 1983

Lovely quality loose watercolour of the harbour wall at Lyme Regis. Alec Butson was in his element with atmospheric paintings of marine subjects, and this is a fine example. Alec Butson was born in 1910 and went to art school in the 1930’s before being called up for War service in 1940. On his return he held positions as product and set designs for companies in London. During this time he painted and exhibited oils and watercolours mainly at the R.I. , R.W.S. The Wapping group and the R.S.M.A. His fluid wet wash style was influenced by his friends Edward Wesson and Gordon Hales. Image size; 35 cm x 51cm Frame size; 57 cm x 71 cm
