Richard William Halfnight Watercolour of Sunset in Riverside Setting

Sunset in a lovely tranquil riverside location. Sadly, the location is not identified, but there is a very unusual spire to the left bank, so if someone recognises it, we'd love to hear from you! Richard William Halfnight (1855-1925) was a well respected painter and etcher. Born in Sunderland, he moved to London in the 1880s where he exhibited at Royal Academy and New Watercolour Society (later called Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour) before moving back north to Newcastle. He painted in both oils and watercolour and did mostly landscapes and coastal scenes. Many of his paintings feature water- he was rather good at capturing its moods and reflections!
