Title: British Impressionist Watercolor of Trees Reflected in a Still Lake By Anthony Avery (British 1946-2023) Original watercolor on artists paper, unframed Dimensions: 11 x 15.5 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 moody watercolor painting captures a quiet, reflective moment in nature. A dense cluster of trees dominates the composition, their dark silhouettes mirrored beautifully in the calm surface of the lake below. The muted, earthy palette of greens, browns, and soft grays enhances the tranquil atmosphere, while a golden horizontal line across the water provides a subtle highlight. The sky is filled with a mixture of light and dark cloud formations, giving the scene a dynamic yet serene quality. A small flock of birds flying across the sky adds a touch of life to the otherwise still environment. This piece masterfully conveys the peace and depth found in untouched landscapes, making it an ideal addition to a relaxing interior setting.
