Dove House, Hurley is a 1940 watercolor by Philip Hussey, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a round, wooden building with a small tower on top, sitting in a grassy field. Wildflowers dot the foreground, and a fence runs along the right side. Trees surround the building, and a path leads up to its door. The sky is bright blue with fluffy clouds, and the whole scene looks soft and sketchy. The artist used quick, loose brushstrokes to capture light and shadow. The colors are simple but warm, with greens, blues, and earthy browns.
