Gary Walton's Copper & Tin is a quietly beautiful limited edition giclée print that reflects the artist's deep affection for the coast and his ability to find poetry in simplicity. Known for his dreamlike maritime scenes and distinctive architectural imagination, Walton here turns his attention to a more intimate subject - two humble fishing boats resting peacefully on the shore, rendered with warmth, balance, and unmistakable charm.
The composition centres on Copper and Tin - two characterful boats whose names are echoed in their tones and textures. One glows with the soft burnished warmth of copper, while the other carries the muted silvery-grey sheen of tin. Their colours sit perfectly within Walton's coastal palette, where soft blues, sandy neutrals, and gentle greys harmonise to create an atmosphere of calm and quiet reflection. Anchored on the beach, the boats appear at rest, as though waiting for the tide to return - or perhaps for their fisherman to begin another day's journey.
In the distance, a faint lighthouse rises delicately on the horizon - a familiar and comforting motif that recurs throughout Walton's work. It serves as both a visual anchor and a symbol of constancy, guiding the eye gently through the composition while reinforcing the sense of peace and timelessness that defines the piece. The stillness of the scene, the open sky, and the soft blending of tones all work together to evoke a feeling of serenity and coastal nostalgia.
Copper & Tin is a perfect example of Gary Walton's mastery of mood and minimalism. With just a few simple elements - two boats, a shoreline, and a faraway lighthouse - he creates a scene that feels expansive, meditative, and deeply human. Each brushstroke contributes to a sense of quiet storytelling: a moment of pause between journeys, or perhaps a reflection on the enduring relationship between people, craft, and the sea.
Produced as a limited edition of 150 giclée prints, each piece is hand-signed and numbered by Gary Walton and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
