The painting Seaside is characteristic of Verrall’s approach: a compelling blend of atmospheric observation and painterly expression. Whether depicting coastal vistas, rural scenes or architectural subjects, his work combines a strong sense of place with a harmonious, balanced composition. Verrall has received numerous prizes over the years and was elected a member of both the Royal Society of British Artists (RBA) and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters (ROI), and is listed in Who’s Who in Art. 1stDibs
