A soothing mid-century abstract landscape that reduces a landscape environment to a harmonious arrangement of shape, colour and atmosphere, exeucted in oil onto canvas.

At the centre, the suggestion of a solitary house emerges from the landscape, its pitched roof and shadowed facade loosely defined against an expansive, pale sky. Surrounding fields and distant terrain are distilled into broad, overlapping planes, giving the composition the quality of a landscape recalled from memory rather than directly observed.

The work has a distinctly modernist sensibility, balancing abstraction with just enough recognisable detail to anchor the scene. Architectural and natural forms are simplified into irregular geometric blocks, while softened edges allow one area to dissolve gently into the next. The unusually generous area of open sky brings a wonderful sense of stillness and space to the composition.

The palette is beautifully restrained, built around powder blue, misty grey, olive and moss green, charcoal and earthy brown. Against these muted tones, passages of dusty blush pink, turquoise and vivid cornflower blue provide unexpected flashes of colour, while a small accent of orange-red at the far right adds a particularly lively counterpoint.

Brushwork shifts between thin, softly blended passages and more substantial, textured applications of paint. The house is especially expressive, constructed through scumbled layers of brown, cream, grey and browns that allow underlying colours to remain visible. Elsewhere, broad horizontal strokes establish the landscape, while areas of dry, dragged pigment and visible bristle marks lend the surface a tactile, painterly quality. The result is a quietly atmospheric work in which landscape, architecture and abstraction sit beautifully in balance.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary white painted wood floater frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor marks.

A richly textured and uplifting abstract painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1970.

The painting unfolds as a rhythmic interplay of geometric and organic forms, arranged in a loosely interlocking composition that suggests shifting landscapes or architectural fragments without ever settling into literal depiction. The artist has layered broad, rounded shapes against more angular blocks, creating a dynamic sense of balance and movement that keeps the eye travelling across the canvas.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the work embraces bold simplification, flat planes, and an intuitive arrangement of colour. The palette is warm and radiant: mustard yellow, ochre, amber, and soft olive green mingle with muted grey and off-white, giving the painting both energy and groundedness. These colours sit side by side in harmonious tension, guided by a thoughtful arrangement of stripes and subtle tonal shifts.

The brushwork is expressive and tactile, with visible texture and confident strokes that bring a sculptural quality to the paint surface. Areas of impasto catch the light softly, revealing the artist’s hand and the physicality of the medium.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gold painted wood frame. There is some craquelure as shown in the close up photos, and the canvas is slight uneven. Overall, the painting is in stable condition, and these characteristics do not impact the visual appeal of the work.

A beautifully restrained mid-century abstract landscape, depicting a broad, open countryside reduced to its most essential forms, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1960.

A distant and low ribbon of fields stretches horizontally across the composition, punctuated by slender trees and softly defined clusters of foliage. Above and below, expansive areas of pale colour create a wonderful sense of space and stillness, giving the distant landscape an almost meditative presence.

The artist takes a distinctly modernist approach to the landscape, favouring simplification and abstraction over descriptive detail. The countryside is constructed through elongated bands and flattened shapes, with trees and hedgerows appearing as loose vertical and horizontal marks. The unusually low, narrow horizon emphasises the breadth of the surrounding space and lends the painting a strikingly minimalist quality.

The palette is wonderfully understated, dominated by warm ivory, soft cream and muted yellow, contrasted against a concentrated band of sage, olive, forest green and blue-green. Subtle shifts between these greens suggest fields, distant trees and changing vegetation without defining them too precisely. The warmth of the surrounding pale ground gives the cooler greens a particularly fresh luminosity.

Brushwork is loose and expressive. Broad horizontal sweeps establish the fields and horizon, while short, upright strokes indicate trees and distant structures. Areas of dry, broken pigment allow the lighter ground to show through, introducing texture and movement to the otherwise serene composition. The sparseness of the marks feels deliberate: with remarkably little detail, the artist captures the atmosphere and rhythm of a vast rural landscape.

This oil on canvas is presented in  a complementary slim gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.
