An expressive and wonderfully textured modernist landscape depicting a dense woodland and rolling hills, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1971.

A small red-roofed structure sits quietly at the centre of the composition, almost enveloped by the surrounding trees. Beyond, the landscape rises into broad undulating hills, with a distant blue peak emerging beneath an expansive, pale sky.

The work has a distinctly modernist, expressionistic character, favouring simplified forms, heightened colour and energetic mark-making over naturalistic detail. The landscape is constructed in loose horizontal bands – foreground, woodland, hills and sky – while the upright forms of the trees create a lively vertical rhythm through the centre of the painting.

The palette is particularly vibrant, dominated by olive, forest and lime greens, punctuated by flashes of golden yellow, ochre, apricot and burnt orange across the trees. Deep blue-green and near-black passages give weight to the woodland, while the distant mountain is picked out in striking cobalt and ultramarine blue. Soft blue, cream and pale yellow sweep across the sky, balancing the richer earth tones below. The small building, rendered in warm red and brown, provides a subtle focal point amid the vegetation.

Paint has been applied with bold, vigorous and highly visible brushstrokes, with areas of thick impasto giving the surface a wonderfully tactile quality. Short, upright strokes articulate the trees, while broader, sweeping marks describe the contours of the hills and sky. In the foreground, long horizontal strokes of ochre and cream draw the eye into the scene. Throughout, glimpses of the underlying canvas remain visible between strokes, adding to the painting’s spontaneous, expressive character.

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

A vibrant and uplifting mid-century landscape painting depicting a lush garden entrance, where a white picket gate opens onto a winding pathway beneath flourishing trees in bloom, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1961.

The composition captures an everyday suburban scene with remarkable freshness, celebrating the quiet beauty of a well-tended garden at the height of spring. Rather than focusing on intricate detail, the artist conveys the atmosphere through simplified forms and an intuitive sense of colour.

Executed in an expressive, painterly style, the work balances representation with loose abstraction. The scene is built from confident, gestural brushstrokes that allow shapes to dissolve into one another, creating a lively impression of filtered sunlight, moving foliage, and blossoming branches. Broad sweeps of paint are contrasted with more deliberate marks that define the fence, tree trunks, and winding path, lending the composition both structure and spontaneity.

The palette is fresh and uplifting, dominated by an array of luminous greens ranging from soft sage to vibrant lime, complemented by crisp whites, cool blue-greys, warm yellows, and delicate blush pinks along the pathway. The interplay of light and colour evokes the warmth of a bright spring day, while the visible brushwork gives the painting an energetic, immediate quality that is full of movement and life.

This oil on canvas is presented in a well crafted wood frame with an inner gilt border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A serene 20th century landscape that captures a quiet meadow dotted with wildflowers at the edge of a lightly wooded grove, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1981.

A scattering of slender trees rises from a carpet of soft grasses and delicate blooms. The scene evokes the stillness of a spring morning, where nature is observed with sensitivity and restraint.

Executed in a gently impressionistic style, the painting prioritises atmosphere and mood over strict detail. The artist uses softened forms and subtle transitions of tone to create depth, allowing the landscape to dissolve gracefully into the distance. The composition feels airy and contemplative, inviting the viewer into a peaceful natural setting.

The colour palette is fresh and understated, built around harmonious shades of sage green, celadon, pale blue, and silvery grey. Touches of lavender, violet, and bright yellow wildflowers animate the foreground, providing delicate accents against the cool greens of the meadow and trees. The pale sky lends an overall luminosity to the work, enhancing its tranquil character.

Brushwork is light and fluid. Thin, vertical strokes describe grasses and tree trunks, while loosely applied layers of paint suggest foliage and distant woodland. The flowers are rendered with small, lively touches of colour that enliven the surface without disturbing the painting’s calm rhythm.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary dark wood frame with an inner linen lining and slim gilt slip. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very light scuffing.
