An excellent and strong example of his Yorkshire coast paintings.

Robert Leslie Howey was born in 1900 in Hartlepool. He was the son of the Staithes Group artist, John William Howey (1873 – 1938), who – although recognized by his peers as a serious artist – never practiced his art professionally, but remained employed by the gas and water board.__His son, Robert, seems to have had similar equivocations about a career in painting (although when young he cleaned his father’s brushes and befriended other Staithes artists – Rowland Hill and Mark Senior): he did not enter the West Hartlepool School of Art until he was in his thirties. He appears to have started his artistic life by drawing and sketching, visiting local beauty spots such as Runswick Bay and Whitby.

Howey exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy, the Laing Gallery, Newcastle, the Redfern Gallery, London, and other provincial galleries; he also had a solo show in Hartlepool in 1949.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

British 20th-century marine watercolour painting focuses on coastal scenery, seafaring vessels, and atmospheric light conditions, often documenting traditional fishing communities around the British coastline.

Artists typically used lightfast water-based pigments or bodycolour on heavy cotton-rag or textured paper, mounted behind protective glass to shield delicate washes from environmental damage.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit signature monograms or full signatures, era-appropriate paper aging, distinctive brushwork, and identifiable regional subjects like specific harbours or boat designs.

Pair atmospheric coastal watercolours with natural wood finishes, neutral linen upholstery, or muted blue palettes to create a refined, coastal-inspired aesthetic in living spaces or hallways.

Display watercolours away from direct sunlight and damp conditions, utilizing UV-protective glass and acid-free archival mounting materials to prevent fading and paper discoloration.
