George Stanfield Walters

George Stanfield Walters painted quiet, gentle watercolors of 19th-century Wales. In 1868 he set brush to paper and showed us “The Stepping-stones near Bettws-y-Coed,” a soft-rush stream where hikers cross mossy stones under a low sky. The work is a straightforward slice of Victorian country life, no drama, just the humble green slopes and rippling water of North Wales. Want to step back into that same landscape?
