  • The Tram

    £625

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small yet very striking modernist street scene composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting depicts a bustling scene in a city with a tram and some figures strolling in the foreground, and a building motif situated in the background of the painting.

    The artist has highlighted the silhouettes of the tram, building and figures with a thin black outline, and the painting has a sketch-like quality. Furthermore, by leaving areas of the canvas exposed, the artist’s creative use of negative space accentuates the shapes of the figure and objects, drawing our attention to their distinct forms.

    The painting is characterised by a beautiful rich palette, as well as expressive and lightly textured brushstrokes that reflect the uplifting energy of the city.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a beautiful wood frame with a linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has marks to its linen border as shown.

  • Tulips in Pastel

    £370

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very elegant mid century modernist floral oil composition, painted onto canvas.

    In this floral piece we have light pink tulips in a blue vase, painted in an expressionist style. Broad, gestural brushstrokes in  a range of soft, pastel colours make up this composition. The flowers and vase is set against a background of light blue and pink, which transitions into a richer blue as we move down the canvas. There is a wonderful diaphanous quality to this painting which is really easy on the eye. Floral pieces like these have a timelessness to them which make them in an easy fit in many interior settings. The lightness to this one would certainly uplift the mood of a space.

    The painting is housed in a very well suited frame with a linen lined border as well as an inner gilt border which illuminates the painting wonderfully. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some minor age wear.

  • Row of Houses

    £420

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive and lively mid-century modernist style composition, executed in oil onto canvas board.

    Small yet impact in its composition, the painting presents a row of houses lined by a street, with a view of a lush green forest landscape that extends out to the background.

    Painted in a semi-abstract manner, all realistic details have been omitted and the artist has skilfully used planes and blocks of contrasting colours and distinct brushwork to demonstrate a sense of depth.

    The brushstrokes used are broad and fluid, and have been very confidently executed, imbuing the painting with an energetic feel, and the colour palette used is rich and uplifting.

    This oil on canvas board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuff marks.

  • Conjuring Blue

    £300

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small but powerful abstract composition by British contemporary artist Lloyd Durling, painted in oil onto linen panel. Signed, titled and dated on reverse.

    Central to this painting is an intense engagement with oil on linen that explore the interface between painting, drawing and collage. There is a balance between expressive play and tight control and with this comes an expanse of associations that push beyond simple categorisations of abstraction or scale. The information in each painting, given by gesture or mark, is reduced to a fleeting register on the surface, as if each mark has to count. 

    The idea of topography is of central importance and is explored through continuing walking projects. These serve as opportunities to gather diverse source material through physical and emotional interactions with whichever environment chosen to traverse. It amounts to a kind of urban and rural wandering where the information gathered is reinterpreted or reimagined feeding into a deep connection with landscape, arrangements of ancient monuments, light, shadow and forgotten histories – all of these elements find a way into the work.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    £315

    Available

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore..

  • Le Club 55

    £390

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fun and unique mid century oil painting on canvas, titled ‘Le Club 55’ on reverse.

    Le Club 55 is a legendary and glamorous beach club in the south of France, and we can infer that the setting of the painting is within its interior. Punctuating the center of the composition are two well-dressed figures standing in front of white round table, with 2 wine glasses in front of them. The background of the painting is composed of an interesting mix of collage including wine labels and an image of a sail boat.

    Containing elements of geometric abstraction, the artist has skilfully reconstructed the figures down to flat blocks of contrasting colours to demonstrate their three-dimensional form, whilst simultaneously emphasising the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas.

    This oil on stretched canvas comes unframed, but can be hung as is. It is in excellent vintage condition.

    Double Sided Portrait I

    £165

    Available

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An intriguing double sided oil on board:  one side depicts a pair of women looking into a book, and the other side features a striking single portrait of a woman.

    The painting of the two ladies with the book is very textured, with multi directional and distinct brushstrokes creating a very dynamic and layered image. On the other side, the portrait of the woman is smoother in texture overall, but still has a very three dimensional effect. The woman has an air of mystery about her, leaving us wondering what she might be thinking about.

    Painted onto board, both paintings are in very good vintage condition and can be displayed on either side. There is some slight paint loss to the very edges of the board but certainly does not detract from the overall charm of either picture. It could be displayed in its current state on an easel or leant against a shelf. Should you wish to have it framed and would like our assistance, you can contact us via email info@discerningpalette.com.

    Off to School

    £225

    Available

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A lovely and endearing miniature oil on canvas depicting a scene of a pedestrian walkway on a fine summer’s day.

    A woman in the foreground can be seen walking with her 2 children to drop them off at school. They are holding flowers in their hands, that they’ve picked along their journey.

    Rich and saturated colours fill this energetic painting; and the short and textured brushstrokes imbue the work with a sense of liveliness and joy.

    What’s special too is that the artist has uniquely enhanced the greenery portion by adding graphite detailing in a ‘scribbled’ manner, adding a sense of three-dimensionality to the trees.

    The painting is housed in a white card mount, and a green stained wood frame with a blue and gold inner wood border. The colours of the frame pick up on the colours within the painting beautifully, making it stand out even more. The work is glazed (there is a layer of plexiglass between the frame and the painting) to ensure its longevity.

    A small yet powerful mid century abstract composition, painted in oil onto board.

    Abstract in nature, we can discern what may appear to be a mask or a face camouflaged in a sea of bright saturated colours.

    The facial details of the figures have consciously been omitted, inviting us to focus on colour instead, as each robe is in a distinct shade that all harmonise wonderfully together.

    The artist has blended a combination of soft and muted colours as well as smooth and fluid brushstrokes, evoking a gentle and elegant aesthetic to the piece.

    This oil on board is is housed in a complementary wood frame.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Stove

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but very well executed mid century modernist interior scene, painted in oil onto canvas.

    This charming painting depicts a Swedish tile stove, also known as a kakelugn. These ceramic tile  fireplaces are quintessentially Swedish, and date back to the Middle Ages although many were destroyed in the mid 20th century to make way for central heating. Hanging next to the stove are a range of pictures, conveying a homely scene.  We also a see a blue coat or towel hanging next to it, alluding to the practical nature of the stove which can dry wet garments.

    The painting features a light colour palette with shades of blue, light brown and green making up most of the composition. Visible and expressionist brushstrokes imbue the painting with its painterly character.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Blue Waters

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but very impactful abstract modernist oil composition, painted onto board.

    Although very much abstract, the painting is reminiscent of the qualities of water – its flowing nature, its sparkling and dappled reflections, and even its undercurrents. This interpretation is of course subjective but at its very essence, the composition captures a feeling of motion, transience and dynamism. The artist juxtaposes broad sweeping brushwork with much more controlled and defined dots of paint. The palette of colours interplay wonderfully with each other, encouraging our eyes to move in different directions and explore different areas of the composition.

    This oil on board is housed in a very attractive wood frame with an inner linen lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Quiet Country

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed mid century modernist vintage oil on canvas of a landscape composition.

    This picture carries with it that wonderful feeling of being in the countryside and the sense of peace and serenity that comes with it. In the foreground of the painting we see rows of wildflowers lining the bottom of the composition. This then opens out towards rolling pasture, with several red cottages further into the picture. Behind the village we see a lake, a wooded area as well as mountain. The artist has used a very earthy palette of rich brown, green and red. Broad and expressive brushstrokes gives the piece its painterly effect, and adds texture and depth.

    This wonderful painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame which suits it perfectly. Both frame and painting are in good vintage condition.

  • Abstract in Blue

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small yet very impactful mixed media composition with abstract qualities.

    Painted in a semi-abstract manner and with a strong focus on colour and brushwork, we can perhaps make out what appears to be three figures crossing a bridge over a body of water.

    Although the artist has worked with a restrained colour palette, the intense use of blue that takes up the centre of the painting is the most prominent colour that commands our attention.

    Long sweeping brushstrokes have been rhythmically executed, and overall the painting is very well balanced and evokes a very satisfying sense of calm.

    This is a mixed media on board, consisting pastel, gouache, watercolour and oil. Both the painting and frame are both in very good vintage condition. The painting is housed behind glass.

  • Architecture & Gardens

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small but powerful abstract composition by British artist Lloyd Durling, painted in oil linen panel. Signed, titled and dated on reverse.

    Central to this painting is an intense engagement with oil on linen that explore the interface between painting, drawing and collage. There is a balance between expressive play and tight control and with this comes an expanse of associations that push beyond simple categorisations of abstraction or scale. The information in each painting, given by gesture or mark, is reduced to a fleeting register on the surface, as if each mark has to count. 

    The idea of topography is of central importance and is explored through continuing walking projects. These serve as opportunities to gather diverse source material through physical and emotional interactions with whichever environment chosen to traverse. It amounts to a kind of urban and rural wandering where the information gathered is reinterpreted or reimagined feeding into a deep connection with landscape, arrangements of ancient monuments, light, shadow and forgotten histories – all of these elements find a way into the work.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.
