Title: British Impressionist Watercolor of Crossroads Bathed in the Warm, Fading Light By Anthony Avery (British 1946-2023) Original watercolor on artists paper, unframed Dimensions: 11 x 15.25 inches (Height x Width) Condition: Good, with some minor signs of aging. Provenance: From a large collection of this artists work, held in England. Description: This evocative watercolor captures a tranquil crossroads bathed in the warm, fading light of sunset. The silhouettes of towering trees dominate the composition, their dark forms contrasting beautifully against a sky awash with delicate hues of orange, pink, and lavender. The subtle gradient of the sky transitions seamlessly from soft pastels to deeper, dusky tones, evoking the serenity of twilight. At the center of the scene, a simple wooden signpost adds a narrative element, symbolizing choice and direction amidst the peaceful rural setting. The muted browns of the road and foreground create a harmonious balance with the luminous sky, while the textures of the brushwork lend a naturalistic feel to the landscape.
