A serene mid-century modernist style landscape capturing the quiet charm of a countryside, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition draws the eye along a soft earthen path leading toward a red wooden cottage nestled among tall, slender trees. In the foreground, a small wooden boat rests on the grassy ground, evoking stillness and rural simplicity.

Rendered in a modernist, pared-down style, the artist has used flat planes of colour and minimal detailing to suggest light and form rather than delineate them. Pale yellows, warm browns, soft greens, and muted blues create a harmonious palette that beautifully conveys the cool, crisp air of early spring or late autumn.

The brushstrokes are broad and textured, laid down with deliberate restraint:  giving the scene a tactile, almost blocky rhythm that reflects the influence of Scandinavian modernism.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with subtle reddish-brown tone and an inner gilt lining. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

An elegant pair of minimalist landscapes, dated 1985, that captures the serene beauty of open land under a soft rose-tinted sky, and executed in oil onto canvas.

The two compositions are designed to complement each other: one showing a gentle line of birch trees standing in rhythmic formation, the other depicting a quiet rise with a few slender trunks and a simple wire fence stretching across the horizon.

The artist has used a restrained modernist palette of blush pink, misty grey, and muted greens, allowing atmosphere and tone to take centre stage. The brushwork is delicate and deliberate – light dabs and soft stippling define the foliage, while smooth gradients create a sense of still air and fading distance.

Together, the pair evokes a dreamlike calm: a moment of dusk or dawn frozen in time, and would bring a refined sense of balance and tranquillity to any space.

These oil on canvases are housed in complementary silver and black frames. There are some light marks near the tops and bottoms of each work, consistent with age and display. The frames have some light wear and scuffing, though this does little to detract from the overall elegance of the pair.

An expressive mid-century oil painting depicts a sweeping landscape view, freshly awakened with the vitality of spring, executed in oil onto board.

The land stretches broadly under an expansive sky, the furrowed fields rendered in warm browns, yellow, and soft greens, suggesting freshly turned soil and new growth. Patches of verdant green brushstrokes punctuate the earth, hinting at the season’s renewal, while clusters of trees appear on the horizon, their foliage painted in luminous tones of green.

The style is painterly and expressive, with bold, gestural strokes that convey the texture of the earth and the gentle energy of the season. The artist’s use of textured brushstrokes and layered colour adds depth and rhythm, allowing the viewer to sense both movement and stillness within the landscape. The pale sky, rendered in soft whites and cool blues, emphasises the openness of the scene and provides a delicate contrast to the richness of the fields below.

Stylistically, the work balances naturalistic observation with painterly abstraction – the forms are suggested rather than detailed, allowing colour and gesture to evoke the mood of the land.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame.  The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a very small loss to its corner top left corner.

At the centre,  a farmhouse with a sloping roof and chimney is flanked by a smaller outbuilding, both painted in earthy tones that anchor the scene. A winding track leads the viewer’s eye into the composition, curving through undulating fields of luminous greens that dominate the canvas. In the distance, clusters of trees and layered hills create a sense of depth and seclusion, while above, the sky is rendered with expressive strokes of pale blue, violet, and white.

The style is boldly modernist, with loose, energetic brushwork and a sense of immediacy in execution. Colours are vibrant yet natural, dominated by shifting greens, ochres, and deep blues, accented by flashes of light that suggest fleeting sun across the fields. The brushstrokes are broad and textured, imparting movement and vitality, while still maintaining a structured composition that balances geometry and spontaneity.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. The painting has some light craquelure present with areas of paint loss present, as shown in close ups.
