Thomas Mortimer, Coastal Scene With Sailboats

Thomas Mortimer, Coastal Scene With SailboatsThis charming early 20th century watercolour by British artist Thomas Mortimer (act. 1880 1920) depicts a tranquil coastal scene with sailboats. Mortimer adored the British coastline and held a particular fondness for Devon and Cornwall. His gentle views capture quieter ideals. Sundrenched shores, calm waters, restful moods.
