Colin T Johnson, Oil on Canvas, Dartmouth '87
Colin T Johnson, Oil on Canvas, Dartmouth '87
An original signed oil on canvas by Devon artist Colin T. Johnson, painted in 1987 and titled “Dartmouth” on the artist’s own studio label.
From a vantage point above the town, Johnson captures Dartmouth’s distinctive church tower, steep hillside houses and busy harbour beyond. Bold blocks of colour, stylised clouds and simplified architectural forms give the work a strong graphic feel, reminiscent of 1930s railway posters and naïve coastal painting – a classic look for West Country interiors.

A striking, ready-to-hang West Country original with excellent decorative presence.
