A charming mid-century landscape painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition captures a serene landscape scene of a farmhouse beneath a broad thatched roof, accompanied by a full-bodied tree to the right. The composition is balanced and restrained, focusing on the geometric rhythm of the roofline contrasted with the organic softness of the foliage.

The artist has worked in a modernist style, reducing forms to their essentials while retaining a sense of place and atmosphere. The palette is cool and calming, with sky blues, muted teals, earthy browns, and soft golden browns, which together create a tranquil countryside mood.

The brushstrokes are broad and textured, applied with confident, almost block-like swathes of paint that suggest depth and light without unnecessary detail. This technique allows the viewer’s eye to rest on the impression of shapes and tones, rather than fine rendering.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wooden frame and with inner silver and cream border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A large and soothing mid-century landscape that captures a tranquil countryside view with a winding river cutting diagonally across open fields, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition leads the eye into the distance, where layered hills and a soft, expansive sky stretch across the horizon. The painting conveys both stillness and quiet movement, as the river becomes a guiding line through the scene.

Painted in a modernist, mid-century manner, the artist has used broad, expressive brushstrokes and simplified forms rather than meticulous detail. The work leans towards abstraction while retaining enough realism to evoke a recognisable landscape.

The palette is earthy yet luminous, with rich greens, browns, and muted burgundies in the foreground fields. A bold streak of deep blue defines the river, contrasting against the surrounding land. Above, soft creams, pale pinks, and gentle blues create a sky at once atmospheric and serene, suggesting the shifting light of late afternoon or early evening.

The brushwork is loose and gestural, laid down in broad sweeps that capture the essence of fields, sky, and water. The layered strokes in the sky suggest drifting clouds, while horizontal blends across the horizon create depth and atmosphere. The foreground is built up in thicker, more textured strokes, giving the land a grounded presence against the airy openness above.

This large oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, The frame has light age-related wear, including some scuffs to the gilded section, which do not detract from its overall presentation.
