Chapel Tremadoc, Caernarvonshire is a 1941 watercolor by Rowntree, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows a simple stone building with a yellow front and a triangular roof. The walls have three dark doorways, and a round window with a cross shape sits above the middle one. In front of the building, a small garden has a fence made of wooden posts and wire. A red gate stands open on the right, and a pile of rocks lines the bottom of the scene. The artist used soft colors and loose brushstrokes to keep it looking light and airy. The trees in the background are painted with quick, sketchy strokes, almost like a quick note rather than a detailed drawing. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
