Tarr Steps, Exmoor

About this work

This watercolor shows a quiet countryside scene with a stone bridge over a shallow river. On the left, two cows stand near a fence, while trees and bushes line the banks. The colors are soft—light greens, browns, and blues—giving it a calm, misty feel. The artist used loose, sketchy brushstrokes to suggest movement in the water and foliage. The bridge’s uneven stones and the way the light filters through the trees add depth without hard lines. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
