• Garden by the Water

    Garden by the Water

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small yet very effective charming landscape painting that captures a quiet outdoor terrace set against the gentle shimmer of a lakeside horizon, executed in oil onto board and dated 1981.

    At the centre, a white table and chairs sit bathed in warm afternoon light, their forms softened and abstracted by expressive painterly strokes. Surrounding them, lush trees and shrubs frame the scene, creating a sense of intimate seclusion with just a glimpse of the expansive water beyond.

    The composition blends representational elements with looser, gestural abstraction. The palette is harmonious and atmospheric – cool blues and greys of the sky and water contrast beautifully with the earthy greens and muted browns of the foliage and ground. Thick impasto brushstrokes bring exceptional texture and movement to the surface, particularly in the foliage where the paint is applied in layered, energetic swirls. The terrace furniture is rendered with creamy whites and pale yellows, catching the light and adding a striking focal point within the natural setting.

    Overall, this is a wonderfully evocative piece: capturing the tranquillity of a sunlit moment outdoors, conveyed through confident colour work and richly tactile brushwork.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary white painted wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Distant Trees

    The Distant Trees

    £430

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A serene mid-century landscape depicting a broad expanse of open countryside beneath a luminous, pale blue sky, executed in oil onto board and dated 1965.

    The composition is arranged in long horizontal bands, with sweeping fields stretching towards a distant horizon. A compact cluster of trees rises prominently in the distance, providing a strong focal point amid the otherwise open and tranquil landscape.

    Painted in a restrained modernist style, the artist simplifies the countryside into flattened planes of colour and loosely defined forms. Rather than pursuing precise naturalistic detail, the landscape is conveyed through shape, rhythm and tonal variation, giving the work a wonderfully atmospheric quality. The elongated panoramic format further emphasises the sense of space and distance.

    The palette is particularly appealing, dominated by soft turquoise, seafoam green, sage, muted olive and creamy beige, with deeper forest-green passages introducing contrast and depth. The cool, harmonious colours lend the scene a fresh and calming character.

    Brushwork is loose, expressive and visibly textured throughout. Broad lateral strokes sweep across the fields and sky, reinforcing the horizontal structure of the composition, while the trees are rendered with shorter, more energetic marks and layered touches of green and turquoise. Areas of exposed texture and softly blended pigment add to the painting’s distinctly mid-century character.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary silver-toned wood frame with an inner linen lining. Both the painting and frame aer in excellent vintage condition.

  • Quiet Afternoon

    Quiet Afternoon

    £505

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming and expressive mid-century figurative landscape depicting a young woman seated outdoors against an expansive landscape executed in oil onto canvas.

    Positioned slightly off-centre, the figure sits casually on a folding chair, her relaxed pose and bare feet lending the scene an intimate, unguarded quality. Behind her, dark rolling hills and a steep rocky formation rise towards a pale open sky, creating a wonderful sense of solitude and quiet contemplation.

    The painting is rendered in a loose, expressive mid-century style, balancing figurative representation with areas that verge on abstraction. The artist simplifies both the sitter and surrounding landscape into broad shapes and gestural passages of colour, with facial details deliberately understated. This gives the work an immediacy reminiscent of a painted study captured directly from life.

    The palette is beautifully muted and earthy, dominated by olive, sage and moss greens, softened browns, blue-greys and deep teal, contrasted by the sitter’s crisp white top and warm sunlit flesh tones. Small flashes of mustard yellow and coral-red in the folding chair provide lively accents against the subdued landscape, while the pale blue-grey sky brings light and openness to the composition.

    Brushwork remains distinctly visible throughout. Broad, directional strokes build the hills and foreground, while shorter, layered marks introduce texture and movement across the terrain. The figure is handled with softer, fluid strokes, allowing forms to remain slightly unresolved. This combination of confident mark-making and restrained detail gives the painting its appealingly spontaneous character.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim wood frame.  The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Under a Pale Sun

    Under a Pale Sun

    £935

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric mid-century modernist composition depicting a female figure standing within a sparse coastal setting, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Fabian Lundqvist (1913-1989), whose works have been represented in many public collections in Sweden.

    The main figure occupies the foreground, dressed in a patterned brown garment, while two distant figures appear beyond her beside a pair of dark, angular buildings. A pale sun hangs in the hazy sky, lending the scene a quiet atmosphere.

    The painting has a distinctly modernist character, with its simplified forms, flattened perspective and restrained, contemplative mood. The elongated figures and stark architecture give the composition a slightly surreal quality, while the deliberate sense of emptiness creates an intriguing narrative tension. The identity of the woman and her relationship to the distant figures is left wonderfully ambiguous.

    The palette is beautifully subdued, built around dusty mauves and deep chocolate browns. Small touches of glowing orange across the woman’s patterned dress and tiny accents of vivid red from her lips provide points of warmth against the muted surroundings.

    Paint has been applied with soft, controlled brushwork, with gently blended passages creating the atmospheric sky and open ground. In contrast, the buildings and figures are rendered in simplified, sharply defined silhouettes. The restrained handling and lack of excessive detail heighten the painting’s still, enigmatic quality.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a beautiful gilt frame with a linen-lined border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs.

  • Blue Flowers in the Meadow

    Blue Flowers in the Meadow

    £450

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very pleasant mid-century landscape depicting a scattering of delicate blue wildflowers rising across an open meadow beneath an expansive, softly rendered sky, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The flowers are loosely arranged at varying heights, their slender stems and deep green leaves creating a gentle rhythm across the composition. With little indication of a distant horizon beyond the sweep of the field, the scene has a wonderfully open and tranquil quality.

    Painted in an expressive modernist style, the artist favours suggestion over precise naturalistic detail. The simplified flowers and loosely defined landscape give the work a spontaneous character, while the generous expanse of sky lends a wonderful sense of light and space.

    The palette is particularly appealing, pairing powder blue, pale grey, soft white and touches of blush in the sky with earthy browns, burnt orange and olive green across the meadow. The vivid cornflower and turquoise blues of the blossoms provide fresh, lively accents against these warmer tones.

    Brushwork is loose, textured and visibly gestural, with areas of exposed canvas contributing to the painting’s character. Broad, sweeping strokes build the cloud-filled sky, while the meadow is worked more energetically with layered, broken marks and dry-brush passages. The flowers are picked out with confident dabs of blue and darker touches at their centres, giving them a delightful immediacy.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame with a inner white border. Both the painting and frame aer in excellent vintage condition.

  • Fields of Colour

    Fields of Colour

    £475

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant mid-century abstract landscape, composed through broad, interlocking passages of saturated colour, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1964.

    The composition loosely evokes a landscape viewed across rolling fields and distant hills, though the scenery has been deliberately reduced to its most elemental forms. Irregular blocks of colour overlap and recede across the canvas, creating a sense of depth without relying on conventional perspective. The distant blue forms suggest hills or mountains beneath a pale turquoise sky, while the foreground unfolds in a patchwork of fields.

    The palette is wonderfully bold and uplifting, bringing together cobalt and powder blue, vivid orange, golden yellow, fresh greens, deep aubergine and warm red, all set against the cool turquoise above. Areas of exposed ground between the colours create pale, broken outlines that further emphasise the individual shapes.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist, colour-field style, the artist favours simplified organic forms and expressive areas of flat colour over descriptive detail. The paint has been applied with broad, visible brushstrokes, with uneven, feathered edges lending the composition a spontaneous and tactile quality.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Skaters on the Pond

    Skaters on the Pond

    £480

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming naïve style mid-century winter scene depicting a frozen village pond animated by figures skating across its icy surface, executed in oil onto canvas.

    In the foreground, two darkly dressed figures make their way towards the ice hand-in-hand, while skaters in vivid coats are scattered across the pond beyond. Bare trees and a pair of snow-covered buildings frame the background, giving the composition a wonderfully nostalgic, almost storybook quality.

    The artist has reduced the landscape and its figures to simplified, expressive forms. Perspective is deliberately flattened, with elongated silhouettes and loosely rendered architecture lending the work a naïve, folk-art quality. The small figures are particularly characterful, captured through shapes and gestures rather than precise detail.

    The palette is beautifully restrained, dominated by icy turquoise, blue-green and muted teal, offset by snowy whites and deep charcoal blacks. Small passages of mustard yellow, lime green, burgundy and cobalt blue punctuate the scene, drawing the eye across the frozen landscape.

    Brushwork is loose and textural throughout, with broad, softly blended strokes defining the ice and sky, contrasted by darker, more graphic marks in the trees and figures. Areas of visible texture and variation in the paint surface add to the work’s expressive, painterly character.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a beautiful wide grey-toned wooden frame, with a pronounced dark wood-grain effect. The painting has some small areas of craquelure present, consistent with the age of the work, but the paint layer remains stable overall.

  • Green Pastures

    Green Pastures

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A serene 20th century modernist style landscape painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

    The composition looks across broad stretches of cultivated farmland towards a small grouping of white farm buildings in the middle distance. Their crisp, pale facades stand out beautifully against the dense mass of dark green trees behind, while the open fields sweep diagonally through the foreground, creating a wonderful sense of depth and leading the eye towards the distant horizon.

    Stylistically, the painting has a distinctly modernist, expressionistic character, with the landscape simplified into broad, flattened areas of colour rather than rendered in precise detail. The artist reduces the trees, fields and buildings to confident, almost geometric forms, giving the scene a strong graphic quality while retaining the peaceful atmosphere of the countryside.

    The palette is wonderfully restrained and harmonious, dominated by sage, olive, lime and deep forest greens, offset by creamy whites, charcoal accents and a softly muted, pale grey-blue sky. The darker trees provide a dramatic visual anchor, while the brighter greens of the fields lend freshness and light to the composition.

    Brushwork is loose, broad and expressive, particularly across the foreground where sweeping strokes loosely describe the contours and divisions of the fields. The trees are built from weighty blocks of pigment, while the architecture is more crisply defined, creating an appealing contrast between the organic landscape and angular forms of the buildings.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a beautiful linen-lined frame with an inner and outer gilt border.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Between Two Worlds

    Between Two Worlds

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An enigmatic composition that blends abstraction with a slightly surrealist sensibility, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1991.

    Two abstracted figures occupy the lower edge of an ambiguous, dreamlike landscape, their forms incorporating collaged elements alongside painted passages. Sweeping areas of colour and curious floating forms fill the space around them, while arcing trails of golden dots travel across the composition, introducing a playful graphic quality and an intriguing sense of connection between the figures.

    The unusual shifts in scale and perspective give the work an enigmatic, otherworldly character. The figures seem less grounded within a recognisable setting than suspended within an imagined world – perhaps observing, communicating or simply existing within the expansive abstract space around them.

    The palette is fresh and luminous, dominated by powder blue, cobalt and cornflower blue, softened by pale mint, lemon yellow and creamy white. A vivid sweep of orange cuts horizontally through the lower composition, while earthy browns and charcoal tones lend weight and definition to the figures.

    The artist employs a wonderfully varied mixed-media approach, combining broad gestural brushstrokes, translucent washes and dry-brushed passages with layered collage elements. Areas of exposed canvas weave add further texture, while the cut and overlapping surfaces within the figures create a fragmented, tactile quality. The dotted yellow lines provide a contrasting sense of precision, rhythm and movement against the otherwise loose and spontaneous handling.

    Playful, dreamlike and enigmatic, the painting leaves its narrative deliberately unresolved, inviting the viewer to form their own interpretation of this curious encounter.

    This painting is presented in a slim white-painted wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Under the Pale Blue Sky

    Under the Pale Blue Sky

    £995

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An evocative mid-century modernist figurative landscape painting, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Fabian Lundqvist (1913-1989), whose works have been represented in many public collections in Sweden.

    The composition depicts a small gathering of figures beneath a rhythmic line of trees. The composition is anchored by a female figure in the foreground, dressed in vivid red clothing, while several more loosely defined figures recede into the distance. A brilliant white sun hangs in the expansive blue sky, lending the scene a dreamlike, almost timeless quality.

    The painting has a distinctly modernist quality, with simplified forms, flattened perspective and an emphasis on shape and colour rather than naturalistic detail. The tall, umbrella-like trees create a strong structural rhythm across the canvas, while the widely spaced figures give the composition an appealing sense of stillness and gentle mystery.

    The palette is particularly lovely, dominated by powdery sky blue, soft grey, muted mauve and dusty brown, punctuated by small areas of stronger colour. The foreground figure’s red clothing provides a warm focal point, complemented by touches of turquoise, deep blue and yellow among the distant figures. The near-white disc of the sun adds a graphic, almost surreal note against the uninterrupted blue.

    Brushwork is soft and restrained. The sky and ground are rendered in thin, gently blended passages, while the tree canopies are built from layered, stippled strokes of mauve, grey and brown. Figures and trunks are treated more simply, with broad blocks of colour and minimal modelling, reinforcing the painting’s charming modernist character.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim silver-toned wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Little Red Houses

    Little Red Houses

    £415

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small and charming naïve style mid-century landscape painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition depicts a settlement where cluster of red-painted timber houses are scattered across a gently undulating countryside. A winding road draws the eye through the composition, where two small figures – one walking and another riding a bicycle – introduce a delightful sense of everyday life and movement. Beyond, a pale blue waterway winds towards softly rolling hills, giving the compact scene a surprising sense of depth.

    The painting has a distinctly naïve, folk-art quality, with flattened perspective, simplified architecture and an almost storybook approach to scale and composition. Buildings, trees, fences and figures are individually articulated, lending the work a wonderfully observant and intimate character, as though recalling a familiar place from memory.

    The palette is light and sun-filled, dominated by yellows and sandy beige, punctuated by the vivid reds of the traditional houses. Fresh greens, turquoise window frames and a powder-blue sky and water provide lively contrast. The artist’s brushwork is highly textural and wonderfully detailed: short, stippled touches and delicate dabs of colour build the fields, foliage and distant landscape, while finer linear marks define the buildings and figures.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary warm-toned wooden frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Open Doors to Summer

    Open Doors to Summer

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully serene mid-century interior scene that captures the quiet pleasure of a sunlit room opening onto the countryside beyond,  executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition draws the eye through a pair of powder-blue French doors, thrown open to reveal a lush green landscape and a winding garden path bordered by wildflowers. Inside, a delicate white chair holds a small basket of freshly gathered blooms, while a hanging arrangement of blue, pink and violet flowers adds a charming decorative note. A softly striped rug in the foreground completes the scene, lending a sense of warmth and domestic intimacy.

    Painted in a light, impressionistic manner, the artist favours atmosphere over precise detail. Brushstrokes remain visible throughout, particularly in the garden, where loose touches and dabs of paint suggest grasses, flowers and foliage. The architectural elements are more deliberately defined, creating a lovely contrast between the ordered calm of the interior and the softer, more freely rendered landscape beyond.

    The palette is especially appealing, dominated by powder blue, soft cream and fresh spring greens, with delicate accents of lavender, blush pink, yellow and white. The overall effect is airy and luminous, with the pale tones beautifully evoking sunlight filtering into the room.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim gilt frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • River Through the Hills

    River Through the Hills

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully expressive abstract landscape dated 1975, in which the natural world has been distilled into sweeping passages of colour and energetic, gestural brushwork, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition appears to depict a river or rushing water cutting through a broad, hilly landscape, its pale, winding form drawing the eye from the foreground towards the distant horizon. Rather than describing the landscape literally, the artist breaks it into bold, interlocking planes, giving the scene an almost abstract quality while retaining a strong sense of place and movement.

    The palette is particularly striking, balancing fresh olive and grassy greens, earthy browns, burnt orange and flashes of turquoise against the cool whites, powder blues, lilacs and soft pinks of the water. Deep passages of inky navy and near-black provide dramatic contrast and structure, lending the composition considerable depth.

    Paint has been applied with confidence and spontaneity, with broad, directional strokes and areas of thick impasto following the contours of the landscape. Sweeping marks converge through the centre of the composition, creating a wonderful feeling of movement, while visible ridges of paint and occasional finer linear marks give the surface a rich, tactile quality.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary wood frame comprising a slim white inner border surrounded by a broader soft grey outer frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Path Beyond

    The Path Beyond

    £425

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric and expressive mid-century figurative landscape depicting two figures strolling through a gently curving pathway, executed in oil onto board.

    The path sweeps through the composition and disappears into the distance, creating a pleasing sense of depth and movement. The two figures provide a subtle human presence within the expansive landscape, giving the scene an intimate quality.

    Painted in a distinctly modernist style, the landscape is simplified into broad, softly defined forms. Rather than focusing on precise detail, the artist uses shape, colour and tonal contrast to suggest the surrounding landscape, giving the work an expressive and slightly abstracted character.

    The palette is particularly attractive, dominated by turquoise, teal, blue and fresh green, with deeper blue-green and olive tones providing contrast. The clear blue sky lends the painting a lightness, while small touches of muted mauve and green articulate the two figures.

    Brushwork is loose, broad and expressive, with visible strokes and areas of blended colour creating a wonderfully painterly surface. The sweeping curve of the pathway is particularly effective, naturally guiding the eye from the foreground towards the distant landscape.

    This oil on board is presented in a beautiful wood frame with a layered profile. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Edge of the Land

    Edge of the Land

    £795

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A compelling mid-century abstract landscape that has reduces a rural scene to bold planes of colour, expressive marks and simplified architectural forms, painted in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

    A long, low white building anchors the horizon, its stark geometry set against an expansive, softly worked sky. Around it, fragmented shapes in the foreground suggest fields, tracks, rooftops and scattered structures, giving the composition the feeling of a landscape observed and then reconstructed through abstraction.

    The work has a distinctly modernist, semi-abstract quality, balancing recognisable elements with areas that dissolve into pure shape and colour. Strong horizontal divisions create a sense of distance, while angular forms cutting across the foreground lend movement and an almost collage-like quality to the composition.

    The palette is wonderfully restrained yet punctuated with colour. Slate blue, charcoal, smoky grey, muted olive and blue-green dominate, contrasted by the brilliant white of the central building. Small flashes of brick red, cobalt blue, mustard yellow and green enliven the darker passages and draw the eye around the canvas.

    Brushwork is confident and varied, moving between broad, flat passages of paint and more vigorous, scraped and scumbled marks. Visible layering and areas where colours overlap or break through one another give the surface a tactile, painterly quality. The loose handling of the sky contrasts beautifully with the sharper geometry below, reinforcing the tension between landscape and abstraction.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary linen-lined wood frame with an inner silver window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffs.

  • Beyond the White Road

    Beyond the White Road

    £610

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric mid-century landscape that depicts a quiet settlement gathered along a broad country road, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1964.

    A scattering of simple whitewashed buildings stretches across the horizon, their angular silhouettes emerging beneath an expansive blue-grey sky. The sweeping road dominates the foreground, drawing the eye gently into the composition and towards the cluster of houses beyond. Sparse surrounding fields and the absence of figures give the scene a wonderfully still, almost timeless quality.

    The work is painted in a distinctly modernist, semi-abstract style, with the landscape reduced to broad planes, simplified architectural forms and loosely defined contours. Rather than focusing on precise detail, the artist captures the essential shapes and atmosphere of the setting. The buildings are constructed from irregular blocks of paint, while passages of shadow and dark openings provide a striking graphic contrast against their pale facades.

    The restrained palette is particularly appealing, combining chalky whites, warm creams and stone greys with muted olive and earthy brown. A soft blue-grey sky lends a coolness to the composition, balanced beautifully by the warmer tones of the surrounding land. Small accents of charcoal and near-black punctuate the otherwise subdued palette, lending depth and definition to the buildings and landscape.

    Brushwork is loose, expressive and richly textural, with broad, dry strokes and areas of thicker impasto giving the surface a tactile quality. The road is rendered through long, sweeping strokes that reinforce its perspective, while shorter, more vigorous marks articulate the buildings and rough terrain. Areas of the underlying surface are allowed to interact with the paint, contributing to the work’s raw, understated character.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary lined-lined wood frame with a slender gilt inner border. The painting presents well overall. There are small minor dents to the outer edge of the frame. A line of craquelure runs down the centre of the painting, corresponding with the underlying stretcher framework; however, the paint remains stable.

  • Fields Beyond

    Fields Beyond

    £825

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully expressive mid-century landscape depicting a broad, open countryside framed by clusters of trees and gently rolling fields, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The scene has been distilled into simplified, almost abstract forms, with rounded trees rising rhythmically across the middle ground and broad passages of colour suggesting fields, pathways and distant farmland.

    The artist works with a distinctly modernist sensibility, favouring shape, colour and gesture over precise representation. There is a lovely looseness to the composition: forms overlap and merge into one another, while the landscape feels constructed from sweeping blocks of paint. The trees in particular have a sculptural quality, their curved silhouettes giving the scene a strong sense of rhythm and movement.

    The palette is beautifully muted yet varied, combining moss and forest greens, slate and powder blues, olive and soft grey, with warmer passages of buttery yellow, dusty peach and earthy brown. A pale blue-grey sky stretches expansively above, lending a quiet, atmospheric quality to the scene.

    Brushwork is confident and wonderfully visible throughout. Broad, loaded strokes sweep across the foreground, while curved, directional marks articulate the trees and contours of the land. Areas of exposed ground and loosely finished edges add to the painting’s spontaneous character, giving it the feeling of a landscape captured directly and instinctively.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary linen-lined wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • House Above the Fields

    House Above the Fields

    £655

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing mid-century abstract landscape that reduces a landscape environment to a harmonious arrangement of shape, colour and atmosphere, exeucted in oil onto canvas.

    At the centre, the suggestion of a solitary house emerges from the landscape, its pitched roof and shadowed facade loosely defined against an expansive, pale sky. Surrounding fields and distant terrain are distilled into broad, overlapping planes, giving the composition the quality of a landscape recalled from memory rather than directly observed.

    The work has a distinctly modernist sensibility, balancing abstraction with just enough recognisable detail to anchor the scene. Architectural and natural forms are simplified into irregular geometric blocks, while softened edges allow one area to dissolve gently into the next. The unusually generous area of open sky brings a wonderful sense of stillness and space to the composition.

    The palette is beautifully restrained, built around powder blue, misty grey, olive and moss green, charcoal and earthy brown. Against these muted tones, passages of dusty blush pink, turquoise and vivid cornflower blue provide unexpected flashes of colour, while a small accent of orange-red at the far right adds a particularly lively counterpoint.

    Brushwork shifts between thin, softly blended passages and more substantial, textured applications of paint. The house is especially expressive, constructed through scumbled layers of brown, cream, grey and browns that allow underlying colours to remain visible. Elsewhere, broad horizontal strokes establish the landscape, while areas of dry, dragged pigment and visible bristle marks lend the surface a tactile, painterly quality. The result is a quietly atmospheric work in which landscape, architecture and abstraction sit beautifully in balance.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary white painted wood floater frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor marks.

  • Sunlit Cart

    Sunlit Cart

    £510

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A lively mid-century modernist style landscape oil painting, by Swedish artist Eric Elfvén (1921–2008), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

    At the heart of the composition lies a wooden cart with large wheels casting cool blue shadows across a warm orange path. Behind it, simplified forms of houses – painted in muted orange, coral red, and powder blue – sit neatly among rounded green trees and trimmed hedgerows.

    The artist has used a flattened perspective and geometric abstraction, reducing the scene to bold shapes and colour fields. The palette is both playful and restrained;  the shadows and structures are stylised, offering just enough detail to ground the viewer in a familiar rural setting, while leaving space for interpretation.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has light scuffing.

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and atmospheric mid-century landscape that presents a tranquil riverside scene with a subtle narrative undertone, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1952.

    Two figures rest on the grassy bank of a still canal, their gazes drawn toward a moored boat and a drawbridge in the distance. The composition is balanced by low farm buildings on the left and the soft sprawl of countryside under a cool, clouded sky.

    Executed in a loose, expressive style, the brushwork is thick and confident, capturing texture and movement, especially in the turbulent sky and reflective water. The palette is dominated by muted tones: steely blues, sage greens, earthy browns, and soft greys, evoking a moody, contemplative atmosphere. The overall effect is quietly cinematic  – a fleeting moment of stillness rendered with emotional restraint and painterly clarity.

    This large oil on canvas is housed in a complementary ridged gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffs.

  • Cottages by Quiet Water

    Cottages by Quiet Water

    £460

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A gentle mid-century scene that unfolds along a modest shoreline, where a row of whitewashed cottages sits quietly beneath soft autumnal trees, and executed in oil onto canvas.

    In the foreground, three small wooden boats rest at ease on still water, their forms mirrored in loose, shimmering reflections. A pair of figures stand near the dock, adding a subtle narrative of companionship and scale to the composition.

    The style leans toward a restrained impressionism, with a focus on atmosphere over detail. Forms are simplified and slightly softened, allowing the overall harmony of the scene to take precedence. The palette is beautifully muted: creamy whites, dusty pinks, warm browns, and gentle blues – evoking a calm, almost nostalgic mood. The sky is handled with delicate tonal variation, suggesting the fading light of late afternoon or early evening.

    Brushstrokes are confident yet unforced, applied with a light touch that gives the painting its airy quality. The water is rendered with loose, horizontal strokes, capturing reflection rather than precision, while the cottages and boats are built up with slightly thicker, more defined marks.

    This oil on canvas is present in a beautiful wood frame with a rich honey-toned finish, as well as an gilt and inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some light scuffing.

    £550

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming harbour town scene painted in 2023 , by British artist Elaine Allender.

    This quayside scene has been built up in layers of paper and paint. We see the village houses tumbling down to the quay, the old harbour walls and a couple of boats moored up on the sea. The painting is full of texture, and has some of the charming roughness associated with real harbours.

    The upper half is dominated by rows of houses with varied shapes and sizes, featuring pitched roofs and small windows. The colour palette of the buildings includes soft blues, earthy browns, and muted creams, adding a rustic and weathered charm. The architectural details, like chimneys and rooflines, are rendered with textured brushstrokes, enhancing depth and realism. The water reflects the dock and buildings above, rendered in soft, blended tones of blue, peach, and grey, creating a shimmering, rippled effect. The sky occupies the top portion of the painting, featuring dynamic swirls of soft blues and creamy yellows, suggesting a bright, breezy day.

    Bright orange buoy-like accents and lifebuoys add pops of colour, drawing attention to specific elements in the scene. The painting’s layered textures and varied strokes add a tactile quality that conveys the atmosphere of a working harbour.

    Overall, the painting beautifully captures the essence of a quaint seaside village, with its blend of rustic charm, lively textures, and serene maritime elements.

    The painting is bordered by a clean, lime-waxed wooden tray frame that complements the coastal theme. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Houses by the Canal

    Houses by the Canal

    £545

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century painting that captures a tranquil waterfront scene, where a row of softly rendered houses sits just beyond a calm canal, executed in oil onto board.

    In the foreground, three small boats rest on reflective water, their curved forms echoing a sense of stillness and ease. The composition draws the eye horizontally, from the grounded solidity of the boats to the lively rhythm of the houses and trees behind them.

    The style is distinctly modernist, with a loose, expressive approach that favours atmosphere over precision. The buildings are simplified into geometric forms, their facades painted in warm, sunlit tones contrasted by deeper greens of foliage and the muted blues of rooftops. The palette feels both playful and harmonious, with subtle tonal shifts that suggest changing light across the scene.

    Brushwork is confident and painterly, with visible, fluid strokes that lend movement to the trees and water. The reflections in the canal are especially evocative – softly blurred and layered, creating a sense of depth without strict realism. Overall, the piece carries a gentle, nostalgic quality, evoking a quiet moment in a coastal village, where time feels slowed and the everyday becomes quietly beautiful.

    This oil on board is housed in an elegant wood frame whereby the outer section is finished in a muted cream with subtle silver accents along the inner edges, and with an inner linen-textured mount. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Sunlit Forms

    Sunlit Forms

    £585

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A richly textured and uplifting abstract painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1970.

    The painting unfolds as a rhythmic interplay of geometric and organic forms, arranged in a loosely interlocking composition that suggests shifting landscapes or architectural fragments without ever settling into literal depiction. The artist has layered broad, rounded shapes against more angular blocks, creating a dynamic sense of balance and movement that keeps the eye travelling across the canvas.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the work embraces bold simplification, flat planes, and an intuitive arrangement of colour. The palette is warm and radiant: mustard yellow, ochre, amber, and soft olive green mingle with muted grey and off-white, giving the painting both energy and groundedness. These colours sit side by side in harmonious tension, guided by a thoughtful arrangement of stripes and subtle tonal shifts.

    The brushwork is expressive and tactile, with visible texture and confident strokes that bring a sculptural quality to the paint surface. Areas of impasto catch the light softly, revealing the artist’s hand and the physicality of the medium.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gold painted wood frame. There is some craquelure as shown in the close up photos, and the canvas is slight uneven. Overall, the painting is in stable condition, and these characteristics do not impact the visual appeal of the work.

  • Sunlit Tree

    Sunlit Tree

    £490

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking and surreal mid century modernist landscape that blends abstraction and symbolism, painted in oil onto canvas.

     

    The focal point is a tree with a twisted, expressive form that resembles a almost resembles a human hand reaching upwards. Delicate, swirling lines extend from the trunk, evoking movement and energy. The tree stands alone on rolling hills, adding to the sense of isolation and resilience.

    The dark blue-green tree contrasts sharply against the bright backdrop, making it a dramatic focal point. The sunlight is depicted as geometric rays, creating a stylized effect reminiscent of cubism or modernist abstraction. The gradation of warm colors suggests a sunset or sunrise, symbolizing hope, transformation, or renewal. The contrast between warm and cool tones enhances the dreamlike atmosphere.

    This painting conveys a sense of resilience, transformation, and interconnectedness between humanity and nature. The hand-like tree reaching toward the radiant sun could symbolize growth, struggle, or enlightenment, while the contrasting colors create a dramatic and emotional effect. The blend of surrealism and abstraction makes this piece visually striking and deeply symbolic.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a very well made wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffing.

  • The Distant Green

    The Distant Green

    £570

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A beautifully restrained mid-century abstract landscape, depicting a broad, open countryside reduced to its most essential forms, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1960.

    A distant and low ribbon of fields stretches horizontally across the composition, punctuated by slender trees and softly defined clusters of foliage. Above and below, expansive areas of pale colour create a wonderful sense of space and stillness, giving the distant landscape an almost meditative presence.

    The artist takes a distinctly modernist approach to the landscape, favouring simplification and abstraction over descriptive detail. The countryside is constructed through elongated bands and flattened shapes, with trees and hedgerows appearing as loose vertical and horizontal marks. The unusually low, narrow horizon emphasises the breadth of the surrounding space and lends the painting a strikingly minimalist quality.

    The palette is wonderfully understated, dominated by warm ivory, soft cream and muted yellow, contrasted against a concentrated band of sage, olive, forest green and blue-green. Subtle shifts between these greens suggest fields, distant trees and changing vegetation without defining them too precisely. The warmth of the surrounding pale ground gives the cooler greens a particularly fresh luminosity.

    Brushwork is loose and expressive. Broad horizontal sweeps establish the fields and horizon, while short, upright strokes indicate trees and distant structures. Areas of dry, broken pigment allow the lighter ground to show through, introducing texture and movement to the otherwise serene composition. The sparseness of the marks feels deliberate: with remarkably little detail, the artist captures the atmosphere and rhythm of a vast rural landscape.

    This oil on canvas is presented in  a complementary slim gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • The Hills Beyond

    The Hills Beyond

    Sold

    SOLD

    An expressive and wonderfully textured modernist landscape depicting a dense woodland and rolling hills, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1971.

    A small red-roofed structure sits quietly at the centre of the composition, almost enveloped by the surrounding trees. Beyond, the landscape rises into broad undulating hills, with a distant blue peak emerging beneath an expansive, pale sky.

    The work has a distinctly modernist, expressionistic character, favouring simplified forms, heightened colour and energetic mark-making over naturalistic detail. The landscape is constructed in loose horizontal bands – foreground, woodland, hills and sky – while the upright forms of the trees create a lively vertical rhythm through the centre of the painting.

    The palette is particularly vibrant, dominated by olive, forest and lime greens, punctuated by flashes of golden yellow, ochre, apricot and burnt orange across the trees. Deep blue-green and near-black passages give weight to the woodland, while the distant mountain is picked out in striking cobalt and ultramarine blue. Soft blue, cream and pale yellow sweep across the sky, balancing the richer earth tones below. The small building, rendered in warm red and brown, provides a subtle focal point amid the vegetation.

    Paint has been applied with bold, vigorous and highly visible brushstrokes, with areas of thick impasto giving the surface a wonderfully tactile quality. Short, upright strokes articulate the trees, while broader, sweeping marks describe the contours of the hills and sky. In the foreground, long horizontal strokes of ochre and cream draw the eye into the scene. Throughout, glimpses of the underlying canvas remain visible between strokes, adding to the painting’s spontaneous, expressive character.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary natural wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Where the Palms Sway

    Where the Palms Sway

    £555

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century modern townscape that captures the warmth and simplicity of a Mediterranean village through a wonderfully stylised composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Whitewashed buildings with terracotta roofs cluster together while a lone palm tree and broad-leafed plants frame the quiet street, evoking the relaxed atmosphere of a coastal settlement bathed in southern light.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the artist reduces architecture and landscape into bold geometric forms and flattened planes of colour. Perspective is intentionally simplified, allowing the rhythmic arrangement of rooftops, walls and pathways to create a harmonious sense of balance rather than strict realism. The composition possesses a naïve elegance, where everyday architecture is transformed into an expressive study of shape, light and colour.

    The palette is both vibrant and restrained, pairing rich burnt orange roofs with soft creams, pale sage greens, muted blues and warm greys. A dramatic slate-blue sky provides striking contrast, enhancing the luminosity of the village while deep charcoal shadows add depth and definition. Bright green foliage introduces lively accents that guide the eye through the composition.

    Confident, deliberate brushstrokes reinforce the painting’s modern character. Areas of flat, opaque colour are punctuated by visible directional strokes that lend texture and movement without overwhelming the clean geometry of the scene.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with a warm honey finish and that features a stepped, multi-profile design. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • En Route My Love

    En Route My Love

    £640

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very captivating and richly toned original painting by British artist Frances Daws.
    Inspired by the quiet familiarity of travelling the same country roads time and time again, Frances distils the landscape into memory rather than reality. Instead of capturing every field and hedgerow, she paints the essence of a place as it lingers in the mind.
    A deliberately muted palette of deep greens, earthy reds and soft pinks creates a gentle rhythm across the canvas, while subtle glimpses of the underpainting unify the composition and hint at the layers beneath our own recollections. The result is a landscape that feels both recognisable and elusive. Less a specific view, and more the feeling of passing through the countryside, where memories blur into one another with every journey.
    The painting is beautifully presented in a wide profile rustic wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    Frances Daws is a British Artist working in the Southwest of England. Primarily a painter she also works within printmaking. Having lived by the English coastline and now residing within the countryside her work is often formed by ‘colour journeys’ a form of mapping the landscape through the emotive language of colour.

  • Fleeting Glances

    Fleeting Glances

    £640

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and richly coloured original painting by British artist Frances Daws.
    In this expressive landscape, Frances Daws explores not the countryside as it appears, but as it is remembered after countless journeys along the same familiar roads. Shapes dissolve into broad, confident brushstrokes, while a restrained palette of deep greens, warm ochres and soft pinks allows shifts in tone to take centre stage.
    The landscape feels as though it is constantly moving. Glimpsed from a car window, recalled later in fragments, and reassembled through memory rather than observation. Areas of exposed underpainting peek through the composition, lending a sense of depth and cohesion while reminding us that, much like our own recollections, every landscape is built layer by layer. The result is a painting that feels both tranquil and wonderfully familiar, inviting the viewer to fill in the details with memories of journeys of their own
    The painting is beautifully presented in a wide profile rustic wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.
