A relaxing seascape, rendered in oil that radiates calm and serenity. This work of art that has hints of abstract qualities captures a seamless transition of the sand, sea and sky so beautifully; and one can almost hear the soft ocean waves and gentle wind blowing.
Soft and sweeping brushstrokes imbue the work with a sense of tranquility; and the way the selection of light pastel colours of yellow, blue and purple interact with one another is simply outstanding.

The solitude of winter is celebrated in this work, as it presents a farm situated in the the middle of a vast snow-covered landscape.
The air is cold and still, trees are barren, and there is not a soul in sight.
The artist has used a restrained palette comprising of shades of grey, white and unique touch of yellow; and together with the use of soft and light brushstrokes, it evokes an overall sense of visual calm and stillness in the painting.
This oil on board painted in 1969 is housed in a beautiful wooden frame with an inner gilt window and linen lining.

A striking and typically ‘mid century modern’ oil painting on canvas, painted around the 1960s. Bold, rich colours fill the canvas with lines and patterns, both straight and curved. Although an abstracted picture on the whole, we are just able to discern a harbour scene, with a line of boats docked one next to the other. The masts and sails are what form the majority of this composition – the artist has taken advantage the different shapes and patters formed by the masts and sails to create a painting with a largely modernist ethos, focusing on innovation and experimentation with form (the shapes, colours and lines that make up the work) with a tendency to abstraction.
The painting is housed in a gold painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffs to the edges which are typical for its age.

A mid century oil painted in a modernist style onto canvas. Expressive, multidirectional brushstrokes make up this striking composition in a cool toned palette of blues and greens. Standing on higher ground looking out, we see the tops of the houses and trees in the dip of the landscape, before it opens out to the sea. The angular outlines of the houses juxtapose against the free form of the expressive brushwork.
The painting is housed in a silvery frame with red undertones and an inner linen border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A large oil on board depicting a modernist take on a winter landscape, painted in 1946. Small and distinct blocks of paint have been applied in a restrained colour palette, creating this semi abstract composition. The artist has successfully and skilfully captured the ‘feel’ of the expansive wintery landscape – there is a palpable sense of the cold, crisp air and the stillness and quiet of the landscape that has been covered in snow.
This large painting is housed in a distressed off while and grey frame which suits the painting impeccably. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A fantastic semi-abstract modernist oil painted onto canvas. We see here a black silhouette of a figure, set against an abstracted background. The artist has played with shape, form and colour, juxtaposing the rounded curves of the dark figure with the more formal geometric angles of the lighter background. The subject of the painting has an almost sculptural quality, reminiscent of the British Modernist artist Henry Moore, who is well known for his signature abstract forms derived from the human body in both sculptures and drawings.
This striking painting is in fine vintage condition. There are some areas of paint loss and craquelure (fine cracks in the paint) as seen in the photos, but the paint layer is stable overall. It is housed in a mid century cream frame with an inner fabric lined border, that has some marks and scuffs.

A visually striking abstract oil painting, executed in 1968.
The artwork is composed of different blocks of colours painted in a restrained palette of blue, grey, black and yellow.

This stunning abstract in oil is an excellent example of how simplicity can be beautiful. Splitting the composition horizontally into three separate sections (four if you look closely), the artist has captured the serene panoramic landscape of the ocean and sky. Perhaps you see something entirely different, but that is the beauty of the abstract. Regardless of whether you draw a connection to landscape or seascape or anything else for that matter, it is the qualities of colour here that is of importance. The lower section of cobalt blue draws our eyes in immediately, soaking us up in its richness. As we move our eyes upwards, strokes of darker greys and blacks guide us up into the lighter section of the painting, where sweeping strokes of soft pastel blues and greys carry us and our minds away into somewhere clear and calm.
The painting is housed in a gorgeous light grey frame that has a inner gilt and linen border that really makes the illuminates the painting.
The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs and nicks to the outermost edges upon close inspection, but they are quite minor and certainly do not detract from the overall beauty of the painting.

A cool palette of purples, greens and yellows render this semi abstract painting in oil. Pictorial details have been blurred and a suffused glow washes over the picture, eliminating visual clarity. We are still able to discern the street scene ahead as the two figures walk down the alley, which gives this painting its compositional depth. There is a haunting beauty to this harmonious picture, where forms and light and atmosphere blend into one resolved unity.
Housed in a complementary gilt and off white frame, it is in good vintage condition with some areas of surface paint loss to the frame, commensurate with its age.

A delightful and very textured street scene painted in oil, depicting a group of houses in a village. The colour palette used parallels the natural world, with a mix of neutral tones such as white, earthy orange, and variegated greens. It is a highly textured work, with several areas of distinct impasto (where the paint has been applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface) creating a three dimensional effect.
The painting is currently unframed, and is painted onto sturdy board. It could be displayed in its current state on an easel or leant against a shelf. It is in very good vintage condition. There is some surface paint loss to the outermost edges but this does not detract from the main image.

An energetic oil on board depicting a scene of a coastline. What’s most captivating is the painterly brushstrokes, that have been executed with much gusto and confidence.
Although the painting has a structured feel, the visible and expressive brushstrokes that have been painted in a horizontal, vertical and diagonal manner balance the overall work, and imbue it with a sense of movement. The artist has executed the painting with flat planes of colours while still maintaining perspective within the picture.
This painting comes housed in a complementary gilt frame, and is in good vintage condition.

A fantastic modernist still life rendered in oil in a cubist manner. Painted in 1962, the artist has used a vibrant palette and created areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly and stands proud from the surface) to create this striking composition. Distinct brushstrokes and bold outlines reminds us of a modernist ethos – the artist is experimenting with form (the shapes, colours and lines that make up the work) with a tendency to abstraction. The artist has moved away from traditional forms of perspective, and has used blocks and planes of contrasting colour to create a sense of depth within the picture.
The painting is housed a a very complementary wood frame with a painted white order. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A lovely study in oil pastel depicting two figures gathering crops, with rolling hills and a row of cottage behind them. There is a softness to this picture which the artist has achieved through the use of multiple elements such as the muted colour palette, the soft medium of oil pastel, and the exclusion of any hard angular lines. As a result, there is a wonderful rhythm and flow that has been achieved in this picture.
The pastel is framed in a triple card mount and a gilt frame. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A stunning and richly textured painting of a mountainscape. The brushwork and colour palette really convey a sense of power and strength within the natural landscape. Distinct blocks of colour and thickly applied paint with areas impasto show off the technical skill and confidence of the artist. The composition of the painting is punctuated by the double tree trunks which feature in the foregound, splitting the picture into 3 parts and thereby shifting our gaze from left to right. The sloping curve of the mountain simultaneously draws our eyes downward, encouraging us to move our attention from the mountain, to the sky, and then to the ground.
The painting is housed in a really complementary gilt frame with hints of red. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

This striking oil painting in a typically mid century cubist style and colour palette is reminiscent of the modernist works by artists such as Picasso and Braque. Here a series of objects atop a table have been depicted from multiple view points, resulting in a fragmented and abstracted composition. The artist has broken the objects down into distinct planes and shapes, emphasizing the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of depth, while at the same time suggesting their three dimensional forms.
This oil is housed in its original mid century wood & gilt frame with a linen lined border. The artwork and frame are in very good vintage condition.

This zen winter landscape rendered in a muted palette in oil is both simple and striking. A snow covered field stretches into the distance, its horizon lined by a row of hazy trees. Mounds of seemingly barren land peak through the thin layer of snow. But barren it is not, merely taking its chance to rest through winter before the busier season of crops begin again. Its ploughed lines extend forward into the distance – here is the earth taking a long, much needed exhalation. A reminder that we all need to take a moment or two to rest, relax and breathe from time to time.
The painting is housed in a very complementary silver wood frame with hits of red showing through. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A well-executed modernist style painting of an abstracted interior setting, dated 1951.
We are able to make out patio doors, a coat hanger with several coats hanging, and an assortment of objects placed on the ground. The artist has intentionally painted the objects in a very abstracted manner, focusing instead on shapes, forms, colours and outlines more than any realistic details.
Broad and swift brushstrokes have been applied in a multi-directional and confident manner. The artist has skilfully layered and blended the colours together to create a textured effect.

A fantastic semi abstract oil depicting a figure within an abstracted background, painted in a cool palette of blue, white and yellow. The artist has intentionally focussed on the play of colour, choosing to leave out any realistic details or sense of perspective or context. A figure sits in the centre of the picture, and although distinct, he seems to almost be on the verge of merging into the curtain of colour behind him. This painting has a wonderful sense of playfulness and mystery about it.

This large abstracted depiction of the female figure may seem simple at first glance, but as we spend the time to look at its forms, lines and colours, we soon realise its complexity. In some ways a reminder of the Nude Blue cut-outs series by Henri Matisse, the nude figure in this painting has been abstracted down to a group of shapes and colours. The artist has avoided any attempt to mimic reality and has instead used blocks of soft yet contrasting colours to create a sense of space and three dimensionality. Paint has been applied lightly and sparsely, allowing the raw canvas to show through.
Painted by in 1968, this wonderful oil is housed in a red and gilt wood frame with a linen slip, and is in excellent condition with some minor scuffs to the frame.

A typically modernist style oil on board painted in 1956. Geometric shapes, formal lines and rigid angles of the buildings and trees contrast with the softer, rounded lines of the pair of figure silhouettes in the forefront. Compositional depth has been achieved through the contrast and layering of flat planes of colour, rather than through the use of perspective. This cubist landscape is reminiscent of modernist painters such as Picasso and Braque.

A lovely tiny but mighty landscape scene of a forest painted in an abstract style. The artwork depicts nature in all its glory- with tall pine trees growing in the background, streams of water flowing through land, and fallen leaves on the lush foreground.
Despite its miniature size this artwork is vibrant and striking, and can certainly add life to any corner in a home.
This oil on canvas board is uniquely framed – the painting is affixed to a linen lined backing with a wood frame, adding a three dimensional quality to the piece.
Painting size: 17 x 21cm
Overall Size: 30 x 33 cm (including frame)
Note: The photos used are not meant to be an accurate size representation of the artwork. Please check the dimensions before purchasing.
Miniature paintings are often overlooked treasures. Their small size means they can fit into an array of small spaces, adding interest to nooks and crannies. They can be displayed on a bookshelf or kitchen shelf, either standing on a mini easel or leant against other objects/books. If added to a group display, these small pieces act as a wonderful contrast to bigger pieces, and can add ‘punctuation’ to the group hang.
