This guy Brooke painted watercolors like he was packing for a trip—just the right gear, no excess. He stood on the cliffs of Ilfracombe in 1883 and sketched Hillsborough, from the Capstone with one eye on the sea breeze and the other on the paper. The painting feels like a postcard that never left the neighborhood: warm light on stone, the harbor below, and a bench where you can almost sit. Brooke belongs in Gallery Tiles because his small watercolor is a doorway—step through it and you’re on a real Devon headland with salt in the air.
