A large and very restful mid century modernist landscape composition in oil, painted onto board.
In this composition we see a panoramic view of a farmhouse surrounded by trees, under clear blue skies. We can tell this is a working farm as the artist has included a series of haystacks in the foreground as well as bales to the right. The yellow of the foreground contrasts wonderfully with the green of the trees and the blue of the sky. The brushstrokes are loose and expressionist, and the palette captures the soft light on the farm beautifully.
The is oil on board is housed in its original and very unique mid century frame which has a real presence to it and complements the painting very well. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some minor wear but this does not detract from it overall appearance.

A long and narrow mid-century modernist landscape oil painting that exudes a moody and atmospheric vibe, painted in oil onto canvas.
The composition presents a rough and earthy path that leads to several dark-roofed houses in the distance surrounded by trees, creating depth and perspective.
The houses, with simplified forms, merge with the sky at dawn and rugged terrain, evoking a sense of rural quiet.
The expressive brushwork suggests a textured, almost impressionistic approach, with soft, blended tones of olive, brown, and muted greens in the landscape, a pale blue sea, and a greyish sky overhead. The trees are loosely painted with dark greens and browns, adding to the moody ambiance.
This oil on canvas housed in its original mid century frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffs and paint losses, but this is quite in keeping with its vintage style.

A very restful mid century modernist still life, painted in oil on to canvas that has been laid onto board.
The subject of this painting focuses on a simple grouping of 3 apples, sitting on a table. The colour palette is also restrained, with mainly greens and blues. As a result of this, our focus is very much directed towards the form of the apples as well as the background, without any distraction. It draws our attention to the beauty of simplicity. The reflection of the 3 apples has been brilliantly executed, and displays the skill of the artist’s hand. The artist has created a wonderful texture to the piece using a very interesting technique of alternating the thickness of the paint, resulting in more depth and complexity.
This oil on canvas has been laid onto board, and is housed in a complementary dark wood frame with an inner silver window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very slight scuffs.Â

A small but very impactful mid century modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas board.
With a distinct focus on form and colour, the artist presents two figures by a tree, painted in a semi abstract manner. There is a wonderful play of angles, line and shapes, creating different planes of colour that combine really well. The figures appear to be sitting on a river bank, with one figure looking out towards the water. The artist has contrasted the richer, earthier colours of green, brown and dark blue, against the lighter blue of the background which alludes to the water or sky.
The oil on canvas board is presented in a gilt frame that suits it very well. There is a light crease line on the canvas that has been laid to the board but this is does not detract from the overall appearance.
