Artist
Longley
Longley is a Regionalism artist. 9 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A watercolour artist active around 1940, Longley painted quiet English landmarks in soft washes. Try Bishop’s Palace, Exeter, where stone walls dissolve into pale blues and greys, or Thorn Farm, Salcombe Regis, its sloping roofs catching the same low light. His view of Poole Harbour shows boats tethered along a misty shoreline, while A gateway, Exeter offers a simpler composition—an arch framed by brick and shadow. See how he lets the paper do half the work: the faintest lift of a brush can suggest a cloud or a tiled roof. Next, step inside The Guildhall, Totnes.
