A soothing mid-century painting that captures a quiet coastal settlement perched along a pale, windswept cliff, executed in oil onto canvas.

A cluster of modest houses with whitewashed walls topped with muted red and charcoal roofs rests gently against a backdrop of dense, dark green foliage. To the left, a sliver of calm turquoise sea meets a soft, expansive sky, creating a sense of openness and air. Sparse, linear elements – possibly masts or fishing lines – punctuate the scene, hinting at a working coastal life without disrupting its stillness.

Executed in a restrained, modernist style, the composition leans into simplicity and atmosphere over detail. The artist has employed a subdued, harmonious palette: chalky creams and sandy beiges for the cliff, cool blue-greys for the sky, and deep greens to anchor the horizon. Accents of rust red and black add structure and rhythm across the rooftops and linear elements.

Brushstrokes are confident and textural, applied with thick brush, giving the surface a tactile quality. The paint is layered in soft, angular planes, with visible strokes that suggest form rather than define it precisely. The result is a composition that feels both grounded and airy, capturing a fleeting moment of coastal quiet with elegance and restraint.

This oil on canvas is present in a beautiful linen lined wood frame, with an inner cream border. The painting has small areas of craquelure visible on the left-hand side of the sky, otherwise it is in good vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs.

A striking modernist coastal landscape captures a harbour scene rendered through simplified architectural forms and broad planes of colour, executed in oil onto board and dated 1971.

Fishing boats rest calmly along the water’s edge, framed by buildings and sheds that sit beneath a pale, expansive sky. The composition balances structure and stillness beautifully, evoking the peaceful rhythm of a seaside port at rest.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting leans into geometric abstraction while retaining a strong sense of place. The buildings are reduced into angular blocks and softened silhouettes, giving the scene a calm atmosphere.

The palette is wonderfully soft yet vibrant, featuring dusty coral pinks, muted lilacs, pale blues, teal greens, mustard tones, and deep navy accents. These colours reflect gently across the water, creating a serene interplay of light and shadow throughout the composition.

Brushwork is controlled and deliberate, with smooth layered applications of paint contrasted against sharper linear details in the masts, rooftops, and harbour edges. The flattened treatment of form and carefully balanced tonal areas lend the work a refined, contemplative quality characteristic of mid-century coastal modernism.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary frame with a linen-lined border and gilt inner trim. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has minor age-related wear.

An atmospheric mid-century seascape that captures a tranquil harbour scene where moored fishing boats rest gently along the quay, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1953.

The composition is anchored by two vessels, their masts and rigging forming a rhythmic lattice against a pale, open sky. A simple waterside building to the right introduces architectural balance, while the calm inlet reflects the boats in softened, broken tones, reinforcing the stillness of the moment.

Painted in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the work favours structure and mood over detail. Forms are simplified and confidently blocked in, lending the scene a quiet solidity and timeless charm.

The colour palette is muted and harmonious, dominated by soft greys, weathered whites, warm and earthy browns, with subtle accents of black and a touch of brick red along the roofline. These tones suggest early morning light and a cool coastal air, while the water is rendered in pale blues and silvery reflections.

Brushstrokes are loose, expressive, and clearly visible, particularly in the sky and water, where layered strokes create movement and texture without disrupting the overall calm. Thicker applications of paint define the boats and quay, giving them tactile presence and depth.

This oil on canvas is housed in a beautiful wood frame with visible grain as well as an outer gilt border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A vibrant and pleasant modernist landscape painting that captures a sweeping view of a coastal hillside descending into a tranquil sea, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1987.

A cluster of red-roofed houses are nestled amid rich greenery, their geometric forms punctuating the organic curves of the land. The artist has placed emphasis on the play between land and water, with the luminous greens of the sloping bluff set against the expansive calmness of the blue sea.

The work is painted in a distinctly mid-century modernist style, marked by simplified shapes and strong areas of flat, vibrant colour. The brushstrokes are broad and assured, creating bold patches of green for the trees and fields, with subtle variations to suggest light and texture. The sea is rendered in sweeping strokes of muted blue, providing a serene backdrop that contrasts with the vivid land.

The palette is dominated by bright greens and earthy browns, harmoniously balanced with cool blues and soft greys in the sky and water.

The brushstrokes are confident and expressive, applied in thick, visible layers. They build up a rhythmic energy in the greenery while softening into smoother expanses in the sky and sea, striking a balance between vibrancy and calm.

This oil on canvas is presented in silver wood frame with decorative detail. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
