Reddish orange coastal sunset by Virginia artist Arthur Sembler (1911/12-1979). Watercolor on artist board, signed lower right. Arthur Sembler was born in Brooklyn to an American father and British mother. No details of his training have been found, but in 1941 he was living in New York and working for the Federal Art Project of the WPA. He lived in Hampton, VA from the late 1940s until his death, working first as an art director and clerk at Shapiro's Department Store, and then as art director of TV station WVEC for 20 years. His artist business card can be found on the back of many of his works declaring him to be "Sembler Artist" and listing his address on Grandview Beach, the location on the Chesapeake Bay which provided the inspiration for many of his seascapes, and the short walk to Grandview Nature Preserve which provided the sand for his beach scenes.
