    An expressive and vividly coloured painting by British artist Frances Daws.

    “From Lacock to Bath” captures the fleeting impressions gathered along one of the West Country’s most familiar routes. Rather than documenting a particular view, Frances paints the landscape as it settles in the memory after repeated journeys, rolling hills reduced to confident, flowing shapes and a carefully restrained palette of deep greens, rich earth tones and soft pinks. The subtle contrasts in tone create depth without relying on fine detail, while glimpses of the underpainting unify the composition and hint at the layers beneath the surface.

    The result is a landscape that feels both unmistakably rural and beautifully universal, inviting us to recognise not a place, but the familiarity of a journey we’ve taken many times before.

    This painting on canvas board is beautifully presented in a in white St Ives style 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.

    Garden Gate in Spring

    Sold

    SOLD

    A vibrant and uplifting mid-century landscape painting depicting a lush garden entrance, where a white picket gate opens onto a winding pathway beneath flourishing trees in bloom, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1961.

    The composition captures an everyday suburban scene with remarkable freshness, celebrating the quiet beauty of a well-tended garden at the height of spring. Rather than focusing on intricate detail, the artist conveys the atmosphere through simplified forms and an intuitive sense of colour.

    Executed in an expressive, painterly style, the work balances representation with loose abstraction. The scene is built from confident, gestural brushstrokes that allow shapes to dissolve into one another, creating a lively impression of filtered sunlight, moving foliage, and blossoming branches. Broad sweeps of paint are contrasted with more deliberate marks that define the fence, tree trunks, and winding path, lending the composition both structure and spontaneity.

    The palette is fresh and uplifting, dominated by an array of luminous greens ranging from soft sage to vibrant lime, complemented by crisp whites, cool blue-greys, warm yellows, and delicate blush pinks along the pathway. The interplay of light and colour evokes the warmth of a bright spring day, while the visible brushwork gives the painting an energetic, immediate quality that is full of movement and life.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a well crafted wood frame with an inner gilt border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Cottage Garden Gathering

    Cottage Garden Gathering

    £555

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century modern landscape captures the quiet rhythm of everyday life in a peaceful countryside setting, executed in oil onto board.

    A modest white cottage with a steep charcoal roof sits at the heart of the composition, framed by leafy trees and a warm terracotta garden wall. Small figures animate the scene – two gathered around a table beneath the window while another walks across the lawn carrying a basket – bringing a gentle sense of domestic activity without distracting from the tranquil atmosphere.

    Painted in a distinctly modernist style, the composition is simplified into broad, confident forms with an emphasis on balance and mood over fine detail. The artist employs an understated palette of soft sage and celadon greens, creamy whites, blush pinks, deep slate greys, and earthy browns. Carefully placed accents of coral red and blue within the figures introduce subtle moments of colour that enliven the otherwise restrained composition.

    The brushwork is loose, expressive, and painterly, with broad, visible strokes that allow the texture of the surface to remain evident throughout. Buildings and foliage are rendered with gestures rather than precise definition, while the sky is built from sweeping, layered strokes that create a luminous, atmospheric backdrop.

    This oil on board is presented in a simple painted wooden frame finished in an off-white tone, complementing the soft, muted palette of the artwork. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century landscape painting captures a tranquil outdoor scene featuring two female figures seated at a round table in a sunlit garden, executed in oil onto board.

    Set against the backdrop of a soft beige house with a deep, shadowed doorway, the figures appear engaged in quiet conversation or shared activity, lending the composition a gentle narrative intimacy. The garden around them is lush and alive, with tall grasses in yellow-green hues and trees whose canopies are rendered in cool greens, blues and touches of deep teal, creating a vibrant interplay of colour and light.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the artist has employed simplified forms and expressive, confident brushstrokes. The palette leans toward harmonious earth tones, punctuated by cool blues and greens that evoke dappled shade and warm Mediterranean air. The brushwork is loose yet intentional, especially in the foliage, where strokes overlap to create texture and depth. The figures, though minimally detailed, are sensitively modelled through shape and colour, allowing their presence to feel both grounded and atmospheric.

    Overall, this work offers a beautiful snapshot of leisurely outdoor life: serene, intimate, and rich with the warmth and colour characteristic of mid-century European painting.

  • Stroll Above the Bay

    Stroll Above the Bay

    Sold

    SOLD

    A lively mid-century expressionist landscape painting, executed in oil by the established Swedish artist Uno Vallman (1913-2004) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum and The Swedish Modern Museum, to name a few. His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

    This joyful painting captures three figures pausing on a grassy headland as they overlook a tranquil stretch of water framed by sculptural coastal pines. The sweeping composition draws the eye between the distinctive wind-shaped trees towards the shimmering bay beyond, while rolling green hills and rugged shoreline create a lively sense of place. Rather than pursuing realism, the artist distils the landscape into expressive forms, celebrating the harmony between nature and the quiet presence of people within it.

    Executed in a highly expressive, naïve modernist style, the composition is defined by bold outlines, flattened perspective and simplified organic shapes. The twisted crimson tree trunks become rhythmic anchors within the scene, while the figures are rendered with minimal detail, contributing to the painting’s spontaneous charm and decorative quality.

    The palette is vibrant yet harmonious, dominated by fresh spring greens, turquoise-blue water and a pale sky infused with soft blush-pink undertones. Rich crimson reds animate the tree trunks and are echoed subtly in the clothing of the figures and the flowering vegetation, creating visual rhythm across the composition. Crisp black contours unify the forms, while touches of white lend brightness and movement to the sea and landscape.

    The brushwork is energetic and confident, with visible, textured strokes applied in broad passages that allow the weave of the canvas to remain evident in places. Loose, gestural marks and expressive layering create a lively surface full of character, while the deliberate outlining of forms gives the composition clarity and a distinctly graphic quality. The resulting balance of texture, colour and simplified form lends the painting an enduring sense of warmth and optimism.

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

  • Wildflower Meadow

    Wildflower Meadow

    £415

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A serene 20th century landscape that captures a quiet meadow dotted with wildflowers at the edge of a lightly wooded grove, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1981.

    A scattering of slender trees rises from a carpet of soft grasses and delicate blooms. The scene evokes the stillness of a spring morning, where nature is observed with sensitivity and restraint.

    Executed in a gently impressionistic style, the painting prioritises atmosphere and mood over strict detail. The artist uses softened forms and subtle transitions of tone to create depth, allowing the landscape to dissolve gracefully into the distance. The composition feels airy and contemplative, inviting the viewer into a peaceful natural setting.

    The colour palette is fresh and understated, built around harmonious shades of sage green, celadon, pale blue, and silvery grey. Touches of lavender, violet, and bright yellow wildflowers animate the foreground, providing delicate accents against the cool greens of the meadow and trees. The pale sky lends an overall luminosity to the work, enhancing its tranquil character.

    Brushwork is light and fluid. Thin, vertical strokes describe grasses and tree trunks, while loosely applied layers of paint suggest foliage and distant woodland. The flowers are rendered with small, lively touches of colour that enliven the surface without disturbing the painting’s calm rhythm.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary dark wood frame with an inner linen lining and slim gilt slip. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very light scuffing.

  • Rhythm of Facades

    Rhythm of Facades

    £595

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling mid-century painting that presents a tightly composed arrangement of house facades that has been reduced to a sequence of interlocking geometric forms, executed in oil onto board and dated 1952.

    Angular rooftops, window blocks, and simplified architectural planes sit side by side, creating a dense, almost puzzle-like composition. A darker vertical element – suggestive of a tower or chimney – rises subtly in the background, adding contrast and anchoring the structure without disrupting its abstraction.

    Executed in a modernist style with clear cubist influences, the work prioritises shape and structure over traditional perspective. Depth is flattened, and space is conveyed through overlapping planes rather than illusionistic distance. The facades are treated as rhythmic units, each one contributing to a cohesive, grid-like harmony.

    The palette is restrained yet expressive. Soft whites, warm neutrals, and charcoal tones form the foundation, punctuated by bold accents of cobalt blue and deep red. These colour blocks introduce movement and visual tension, guiding the eye across the composition while maintaining overall balance.

    Brushwork is confident and tactile, with visible strokes lending subtle texture to the otherwise flat fields of colour. Slight variations in paint density and edge definition soften the geometry just enough to keep the piece feeling painterly rather than rigid.

    Overall, the painting offers a refined abstraction of architectural form: capturing the essence of house facades through a balanced interplay of colour, structure, and mid-century modern sensibility.

    This oil on board is presented in a light-toned wooden frame with a softly textured finish, and with subtle ridges that add depth without overwhelming the composition. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some light cracks present, consistent with age.

    £460

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and very charming 1948 interior scene, painted in oil onto board.

    The painting invites us into a room filled with personality. A favourite green armchair sits among a carefully gathered collection of paintings, golden frames, warm wooden details, and a sunlit view beyond the window.

    The artist captures more than just a room. They capture the spirit of someone who lives surrounded by the things they love. Each picture on the wall feels like a memory, each object carefully chosen and kept. The slightly playful perspective and expressive brushwork give the painting a storybook quality, where the chair itself almost becomes the collector — proudly keeping watch over its little gallery.

    Rich yellows, earthy browns, and deep greens create a nostalgic glow, while the glimpse of the garden outside brings freshness and life into the space. Full of character and mid-century charm, this piece is a joyful portrait of collecting, creativity, and the beauty of a home shaped by art.

    This oil on canvas is presented in robust solid wood frame with a stepped profile.  The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffing which is commensurate with its age.

  • Where the Light Settles

    Where the Light Settles

    £480

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric abstract landscape composition that distils the essence of a quiet horizon into a series of gestural forms and atmospheric colour fields, painted in oil by the established Swedish artist Ivar Morsing (1919-2009), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Kalmar Museum, and Jönköping Museum.

    The composition suggests a windswept coastal plain or open countryside, where low-lying landforms emerge from a luminous expanse of sky. Rather than depicting a specific location, the artist captures a fleeting impression of place – one shaped by memory, mood, and light.

    The painting balances abstraction and landscape, reducing natural forms to expressive strokes and simplified masses. The restrained composition creates a sense of openness and stillness, inviting contemplation while allowing the viewer’s imagination to complete the scene.

    A subtle palette of soft ivory, pale blue, warm browns, slate grey, and earthy umber lends the work a gentle, atmospheric quality. Delicate accents of golden yellow punctuate the horizon, suggesting sunlight breaking through distant forms and providing warmth against the cooler tones.

    The brushwork is confident and expressive, lending texture and movement across the painted surface. Broad, sweeping strokes define the sky, while layered, energetic marks in the foreground create a sense of depth and shifting terrain. The varied application of paint – from thin washes to thicker passages – imbues the work with a tactile quality.

    This oil on board is presented in a beautiful frame with a warm gilt finish and stepped moulding profile. Both the painting and frame are excellent vintage condition.

  • Pastel Settlement

    Pastel Settlement

    £620

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing mid-century modernist composition that reduces a landscape to its essential forms, transforming a familiar rural scene into a harmonious arrangement of colour, shape, and space, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A cluster of simplified buildings sits along the horizon, their geometric silhouettes emerging from broad fields of muted earth tones and soft pastel hues. The result is a landscape that feels both recognisable and abstracted, balancing observation with artistic interpretation.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the artist dispenses with descriptive detail in favour of large, carefully structured planes of colour. The composition is thoughtfully constructed, with horizontal bands of land and sky intersected by the angular forms of houses and rooftops. This simplification creates a sense of calm order and architectural rhythm, recalling the restrained aesthetic of European post-war modernism.

    The palette is particularly refined, comprising delicate lavender, pale cream, blush pink, sage green, dusty blue-grey, and warm earthy browns. These softened colours lend the work a quiet luminosity and contemplative mood, while subtle tonal variations create depth without disrupting the painting’s overall serenity.

    Brushwork is restrained yet expressive. Broad, confident applications of paint leave visible traces of the artist’s hand, with softly textured surfaces and gently uneven edges contributing warmth and character. The paint is applied in flat, matte passages, emphasising form and colour relationships, allowing the composition’s elegant simplicity to take centre stage.

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

  • Sicily

    Sicily

    £420

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid century original landscape painting of Taormina in Sicily, executed in oil onto board.

    The work captures the Mediterranean’s timeless appeal through a soft, impressionistic lens. The composition looks out across a sunlit coastal garden toward the tranquil blue sea.

    A graceful palm tree rises against a pale sky, acting as a vertical anchor amid the horizontal sweep of sea and shoreline. In the foreground, flowering borders burst with colours of reds, yellows, blues, and greens rendered in delicate, dappled brushstrokes. A large terracotta urn overflowing with blooms adds a distinctly Mediterranean character, while white terraces and garden walls guide the eye gently through the composition.

    The artist employs a light, atmospheric palette of sea blues, sage greens, soft creams, and warm earth tones, evoking the hazy warmth of a Sicilian afternoon. Rather than focusing on precise detail, the painting captures the mood and sensation of place: the scent of flowers on warm air, the shimmer of sunlight on water, and the leisurely elegance of a coastal garden overlooking the Ionian Sea.

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

  • Trees in Autumn

    Trees in Autumn

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very pleasant mid-century landscape painting that captures a tranquil parkland scene dominated by two majestic trees in the height of autumn, executed in oil onto board.

    Their leaves, rendered in rich ochres, burnt oranges, olive greens, and deep umbers, create a natural archway over a gently sloping lawn. A winding path leads the viewer’s eye through the composition, while distant foliage and open sky provide a sense of depth and quiet solitude. The scene celebrates the fleeting beauty of the changing seasons.

    Stylistically, the work reflects the expressive sensibilities of mid-century landscape painting, balancing observation with painterly interpretation. The composition is simplified into broad, harmonious forms, with an emphasis on atmosphere rather than precise detail. The trees become almost sculptural masses of colour, lending the painting a strong sense of structure and presence.

    The palette is warm and earthy, centred around golden browns, rust reds, olive greens, and deep forest tones, all set against a clear blue sky. These contrasting hues create a luminous autumnal glow while maintaining a restrained and sophisticated colour harmony.

    Brushwork is confident and expressive throughout. Layered, textured strokes build the dense foliage, while thinner, more gestural marks define the trunks and pathways. The surface reveals the artist’s hand, with visible brushstrokes and subtle variations in paint application contributing to the painting’s depth, movement, and tactile quality.

    This oil on canvas is presented in an complementary champagne-toned wood frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. Please note that there is some glare in the photographs due to the darker colours of the painting.

  • Severn Haze

    Severn Haze

    £460

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A luminous and atmospheric landscape that captures the fleeting beauty of the Severn estuary through colour, light, and abstraction, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Rather than describing the landscape in detail, the artist evokes its atmosphere. The painting seems to hover between observation and memory, where forms are softened and edges blurred by moisture in the air. This sense of haze is central to the work, lending it a dreamlike tranquillity and a feeling of vast open space.

    The palette is especially striking. Cool aquatic blues and mint greens are balanced by touches of blush pink and buttery yellow, creating a gentle harmony that recalls the changing light of early morning or late afternoon. Loose brushwork and translucent layers allow colours to merge and glow, suggesting reflections, shifting weather, and the ever-changing character of the estuary landscape.

    There is a strong sense of calm throughout the painting. The broad horizontal bands of land, water, and sky create a meditative rhythm, while the distant hill anchors the composition and gives it a  sense of permanence amid the shifting light.

    This oil on canvas is framed in a custom floater frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric contemporary abstract painting distils the essence of a landscape into a series of elegant, gestural forms, executed in oil onto canvas and comes unframed.

    A broad horizon stretches across the composition, dividing a vast, atmospheric sky from a layered expanse of earth below. Soft cloud-like masses drift through the upper register, while sweeping horizontal bands evoke rolling fields, distant waterways, or windswept terrain.

    Executed in a restrained abstract expressionist style, the work balances spontaneity with calm precision. The composition relies on subtle tonal relationships rather than detailed representation, creating a contemplative sense of space and openness. Its minimal palette and confident mark-making lend the painting a distinctly modernist sensibility.

    The colour palette is composed of warm stone, sand, cream, ivory, umber, and deep espresso brown, punctuated by passages of luminous white. These earthy neutrals create a soothing atmosphere while allowing the darker linear elements to provide depth and structure.

    Brushwork varies throughout the composition, from translucent washes and softly blended passages in the sky to energetic palette-knife strokes and sweeping gestures across the landscape. Layered applications of paint reveal traces of movement and texture, with scraped and dragged marks creating a sense of natural erosion and shifting light. The result is a work that feels both expansive and intimate, capturing the quiet poetry of an imagined horizon.

  • Red Cabin by the Shore

    Red Cabin by the Shore

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming and expressive mid-century coastal landscape captures a serene moment along a gently sloping shoreline, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A cluster of simplified cottages, most notably a vivid red cabin, rests amid rolling green fields that descend toward a calm, expansive sea. Sparse verticals, likely masts, rise behind the houses, lending a subtle rhythm and structure to the composition. The horizon is soft and unobtrusive, allowing the land and architecture to take visual precedence while still evoking the openness of the coast.

    Executed in a loose, painterly style characteristic of mid-century modern landscapes, the work embraces a balance between abstraction and representation. Forms are reduced and slightly angular, with an emphasis on shape and colour over fine detail. The composition feels spontaneous yet considered, with confident placement of each element guiding the eye from the foreground slope to the distant water.

    The palette is fresh and uplifting – cool turquoise blues for the sky and sea contrast beautifully with the varied greens of the land. Creamy whites of the cottages add lightness, while the red cabin provides a striking focal point, anchoring the scene with warmth. Earthy undertones and soft ochres near the shoreline suggest sand and sunlit ground.

    Brushstrokes are expressive and assured, applied with a certain immediacy. Broad, sweeping strokes define the landscape, while shorter, more deliberate marks articulate the buildings and foliage. There is a tactile quality to the paint surface, with visible layering that enhances depth and movement without overworking the scene.

    Overall, the painting exudes a quiet, contemplative charm: an intimate glimpse of coastal life rendered with warmth, simplicity, and painterly confidence.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a wood frame with a wide linen border, and an inner gilt and cream slip. The painting itself is in excellent vintage condition, and the inner gilt slip on the frame shows some areas of loss and scuffing, consistent with age.

  • The Last Light of Day

    The Last Light of Day

    £450

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A gestural contemporary abstract painting that evokes the meeting of land, sky, and memory through a restrained yet deeply expressive composition, executed in oil onto canvas and comes unframed.

    A broad expanse of soft, atmospheric grey-beige occupies the upper portion of the canvas, while the lower section is animated by sweeping bands of white, umber, espresso brown, and charcoal. The scene suggests a windswept shoreline, a snow-covered plain, or a distant horizon viewed through mist, though it remains intentionally open to interpretation.

    Executed in a minimalist abstract landscape style, the work balances serenity with movement. The composition is anchored by a low horizon line, creating a strong sense of space and contemplation. Its understated palette and reductive forms recall gestural abstraction, where mood and texture take precedence over literal representation.

    The colour palette is sophisticated and neutral, comprising warm taupes, soft greys, ivory whites, rich chocolate browns, and touches of deep black. These earthy tones lend the painting a calming, organic presence while creating subtle contrasts between light and dark.

    Brushwork is energetic and tactile in the lower half of the composition. Broad palette-knife sweeps, scraped passages, and layered impasto create a richly textured surface that captures and reflects light. In contrast, the sky is rendered with thin, softly blended layers, producing a velvety, atmospheric effect. The interplay between smooth and heavily worked areas creates both visual tension and harmony, inviting prolonged viewing.

    This oil on canvas is presented unframed. The work remains in very good condition overall.

    A joyful and expressive mid-century landscape painting, executed in oil by the established Swedish artist Uno Vallman (1913-2004) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum and The Swedish Modern Museum, to name a few. His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

    This painting captures a gently winding path leading through a lush, sunlit valley, framed by softly rising mountains in the distance. Two loosely rendered figures stroll along the road, adding a quiet sense of human presence and narrative. Nestled among the greenery, vivid red houses punctuate the scene, their warmth contrasting beautifully against the cool blues of the sky and distant peaks.

    Containing elements of fauvism and expressionism, the work embraces simplicity and spontaneity. The composition is outlined with confident, almost childlike black contour lines, giving structure while allowing the colour to remain playful and free. The palette is fresh and uplifting: soft blue skies, mint and sage greens, punctuated with dabs of lemon yellow, and coral.

    Brushstrokes are loose, textured, and instinctive, with areas of visible layering that create movement and energy across the surface. There is a lovely rhythm in the repetition of the trees and the undulating path, guiding the eye naturally through the composition. Overall, the piece evokes a sense of lightness and pastoral charm, capturing not just a place, but a feeling of ease and quiet joy.

  • Fragments of the City

    Fragments of the City

    £485

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A captivating mid-century modernist painting that depicts a stylised urban landscape, characterised by a series of geometric forms representing rooftops, buildings, and water, executed in oil onto board.

    Modernist in its ethos with a focus on the artist’s exploration of form and abstraction, the scene captures the essence of a townscape, possibly a riverside or harbour area, rendered in a semi-abstract manner. The architectural forms have been fragmented into angular, interlocking planes, and the cubist influence is evident in the faceted representation of buildings and their integration into the surrounding landscape.

    The palette consists of soft, muted tones, including pastel shades that harmonise with deeper hues of brown and red. The subtle blending of colours creates a cohesive and atmospheric effect, while the subdued tones evoke a tranquil, contemplative mood.

    The brushwork is expressive, with short, layered strokes that create a sense of depth and movement. The overlapping strokes enhance the impression of architectural complexity and spatial rhythm.

    This oil on board is housed in a very well-suited distressed style grey painted wood frame with an inner gilt window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Friesians in the Mist

    Friesians in the Mist

    £480

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly atmospheric painting of Friesian cows in a landscape, executed in oil onto board.

    It is a painting that finds beauty not in dramatic scenery, but in atmosphere and fleeting light. It is less a picture of cows in a field than a meditation on stillness, distance, and the soft veiling effects of mist.

    The first thing that strikes you is the overwhelming sense of calm. A pale blanket of mist spreads across the landscape, dissolving hard edges and muting detail. The world feels suspended between night and day, perhaps in the first moments after dawn when sound is muffled and the landscape seems half remembered.

    The horizon is low and distant, with a line of trees emerging like shadows through the haze. Their softened silhouettes reinforce the feeling of depth while maintaining the painting’s dreamlike quality.

    The black-and-white Friesian cattle provide the painting’s emotional anchor. Their distinctive markings emerge gently from the mist. With their heads lowered, they graze quietly, absorbed in their own world. The dark shapes of their bodies create a beautiful contrast against the cool, pale surroundings.

    This oil on board is presented in a black wood frame with an inner gilt detail. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Winter Reeds

    Winter Reeds

    £405

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A tranquil and subdued mid-century landscape painting that captures an atmospheric wetland scene, executed in oil onto canvas.

    In this painting, slender reeds rise delicately from a mist-covered foreground and distant trees emerge softly through a veil of fog. The composition feels wonderfully restrained and contemplative, balancing open space with bold dark landforms that drift horizontally across the canvas like quiet islands in thawing winter waters.

    Executed in a gestural modernist style, the painting relies on mood and suggestion rather than strict detail. A muted palette of soft sage green, smoky grey, ivory and deep charcoal creates a beautifully subdued harmony, while hints of earthy browns in the reeds add warmth and vertical movement to the composition. The brushwork is fluid and expressive throughout  – broad sweeping strokes soften the landscape into abstraction, contrasted by fine linear marks that give the reeds an elegant calligraphic quality. The result is a painting that feels both tranquil and dynamic, with an almost poetic sense of stillness and atmosphere.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with silver-toned inner and outer detailing. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Woodland Rhythm

    Woodland Rhythm

    £775

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A dynamic mid-century artwork that can be read as an abstracted woodland scene, where slender tree trunks and clustered canopies are distilled into rhythmic, angular forms, executed in oil onto board and dated 1955.

    The vertical lines suggest trunks or branches, while the overlapping triangular and faceted shapes evoke dense foliage catching light at different angles. Rather than a literal forest, it feels like a memory or impression of one – fragmented, layered, and alive with quiet movement.

    The style leans into geometric abstraction with strong cubist influence, where natural forms are broken down into interlocking planes. The composition feels almost musical in its repetition – trees rising and overlapping, creating a sense of depth without traditional perspective. There’s a balance between structure and spontaneity, as the eye moves through the clustered forms like walking through a stylised grove.

    The palette is rich yet earthy: dominated by browns, mustard yellows, olive greens, and warm rust tones that suggest autumnal foliage or filtered forest light. Darker browns and charcoal lines anchor the composition, acting as trunks or branches that give structure to the scene.

    Brushwork remains controlled and deliberate, with paint applied in flat, confident planes that emphasise form over texture. Subtle variations in tone and the visible weave of the canvas add warmth and tactility, reinforcing the painting’s grounded, organic feel despite its abstraction.

    This oil on board is housed complementary layered wooden frame with pronounced grain, as well as a cream-toned inner border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Off the Beaten Track

    Off the Beaten Track

    £1,180

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and brilliantly executed contemporary semi-abstract seascape composition, executed in acrylic onto board, by British artist Frances Daws.

    A richly layered and highly expressive landscape, this painting captures the untamed beauty of the natural world through a complex interplay of colour, texture and movement. Although abstracted in style, the composition evokes the familiarity of a wild valley or mountain pass, with sweeping forms suggesting rolling hills, winding paths and distant peaks beneath an expansive sky.

    Built up with multiple layers of paint, the surface is wonderfully textured and full of character. Each brushstroke contributes to a sense of energy and depth, revealing subtle shifts in tone and gesture the longer you look. Dominant hues of deep reds, moss greens, ochres and earthy browns merge and overlap to create a warm, grounded palette that feels closely connected to the land itself.

    When caught by the light, brighter passages of pale blue, blush pink and soft cream emerge from within the composition, adding luminosity and contrast. These lighter notes bring a sense of atmosphere and openness, as though sunlight is breaking through clouds and illuminating sections of the landscape below.

    There is a compelling sense of both movement and structure in the work. Fluid, sweeping marks guide the eye through the scene, while the varied colours and textures create a layered terrain that feels rugged, organic and alive. The painting rewards close inspection, revealing new details and relationships with each viewing.

    Bold yet harmonious, this piece would bring warmth, depth and a strong connection to nature into an interior. It is an engaging and atmospheric work for anyone drawn to expressive landscapes and richly textured contemporary painting.

    This large painting is beautifully presented in a custom made white tray frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition. The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity and signature on the reverse.

    Frances Daws is a British Artist working in the Southwest of England. Primarily a painter she also works within printmaking.

  • Whispering Canopy

    Whispering Canopy

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric mid-century landscape that depicts a tranquil setting centred around a narrow stream and a cluster of trees rising from soft green embankments, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1959.

    The composition carries a quiet, reflective mood, with the delicate branches dissolving into a hazy landscape beyond. Surrounding the upper branches is a luminous veil of light cream paint that softly suggests foliage or leaves emerging through mist, lending the scene a gentle seasonal transition and an almost dreamlike glow.

    Executed in a loose modernist style, the painting balances abstraction with landscape observation. The artist uses expressive, gestural brushwork and layered paint application, allowing forms to appear and disappear across the surface. Fine linear strokes defining the trees contrast beautifully with broader painterly passages and softly feathered areas of cream and green. Scraped-back textures and visible brush movement add depth and spontaneity to the composition.

    The palette is subtle and harmonious, featuring muted sage greens, pale creams, warm beige tones, and soft earthy greys. The creamy passages surrounding the branches evoke light filtering through sparse leaves or blossom, creating an airy softness against the more grounded green foreground. Altogether, the work possesses a calm, poetic quality.

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

  • Cubist Hillside

    Cubist Hillside

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking cubist-style modernist composition that captures a cluster of houses nestled beneath towering trees and radiant geometric hills, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

    Painted in a vertically elongated format, the scene unfolds: guiding the eye upward from timber-framed cottages and red rooftops toward pale angular mountains and a glowing cream-coloured sun.

    Executed in a modernist style with cubist influences, the composition is built from fractured planes and intersecting triangular forms that give the landscape a rhythmic, architectural structure. The tall dark trees act as dramatic vertical anchors against the luminous pastel terrain, lending the work both serenity and monumentality.

    The palette is beautifully restrained, featuring soft creams, pale peach, muted sage, dusty blue, and earthy browns contrasted against deep forest greens and near-black shadows. Areas of impasto and textured layering create a tactile surface, while expressive brushstrokes and scraped passages reveal an intuitive, painterly hand. The faceted hills and sky are rendered with angular sweeps of paint, adding movement and light throughout the composition.

    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.

  • Fading Light

    Fading Light

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A moody and atmospheric mid-century painting that captures a quiet landscape the edge of twilight, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A cluster of darkened farm buildings with angular rooftops sit silhouetted against a low, glowing horizon. The land in the foreground feels scarce.

    The style is expressive, and form is simplified but atmosphere is deeply felt. The artist prioritises mood over detail, allowing the composition to breathe through shadow and contrast rather than precision.

    The colour palette is restrained yet powerful: deep charcoals, smoky greys, and earthy umbers dominate, punctuated by a striking band of warm yellow along the horizon. Subtle hints of burnt red and rust flicker through the foreground, adding depth and a quiet intensity.

    Brushwork is confident and textural, with visible, slightly impasto strokes that give the land a tactile, almost rugged quality. The buildings are rendered with looser, broader strokes, allowing their silhouettes to emerge organically from the surrounding darkness. The sky is softly blended, creating a gentle transition that enhances the painting’s atmospheric tension.

    This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant and well-suited linen lined wood frame with an inner gilt border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.  Please note that there is just some glare in the photos – there is no fading to any of the colours in the painting.

  • The Long Turn Home

    The Long Turn Home

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric and expressive mid-century landscape painting that captures a solitary figure walking along a gently winding path bordered by a stand of tall dark trees, executed in oil onto canvas.

    In the distance, low rolling hills dissolve into a hazy horizon beneath a softly shifting sky, lending the scene a contemplative, almost introspective mood. The lone figure, rendered with minimal detail, becomes a quiet focal point – suggesting themes of solitude, journey, and reflection.

    Stylistically, the painting leans toward an expressive, semi-abstract interpretation of the landscape. Forms are simplified and loosely defined, with an emphasis on atmosphere rather than precise realism. The trees to the right are articulated with bold, vertical strokes, their dark silhouettes contrasting against the softer, diffused background.

    The colour palette is cool and restrained, dominated by layered greens, deep forest tones, and muted blue-greys. Subtle touches of pale sky blue and soft white break through the cloud cover, while earthy undertones ground the composition. Occasional dabs of lighter pigment across the foreground add texture and visual rhythm.

    Brushwork is confident and gestural throughout: broad, sweeping strokes shape the land and sky, while more assertive, almost calligraphic lines define the trees and path. The paint is applied with varying thickness, creating a tactile surface that enhances the painting’s immediacy and emotional depth.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a silver painted wood frame with an inner cream border. The painted surface shows areas of craquelure, most notably within the darker black passages, where the paint layer appears slightly fragile. Otherwise, it is in good vintage condition.

  • Twilight Path

    Twilight Path

    £465

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric mid-century landscape that captures a hushed forest scene at nightfall, where fading light settles softly over a quiet woodland, executed in oil onto canvas.

    In the foreground, a gently defined and inviting path emerges, guiding the eye inward and creating a subtle sense of movement through the stillness.

    Rendered in a modernist, semi-abstract style, the artist distils the forest into softened bands and gestural marks. Trees are suggested rather than defined, dissolving into the surrounding atmosphere. The composition feels both grounded and elusive, with the path offering structure amid the increasingly shadowed landscape.

    The colour palette leans into cool, moody tones: muted greens, deepened aquas, smoky greys, and chalky whites – layered to evoke the last traces of light filtering through the trees. Darker, almost inky accents anchor the composition, hinting at tree trunks and the quiet density of the forest as it recedes into shadow.

    Brushwork is expressive yet measured. Broad, horizontal strokes shape the landscape and the path, while thicker, textured applications of paint add weight and tactility in the foreground. More translucent layers in the background soften the scene, allowing forms to blur gently into one another, enhancing the twilight atmosphere.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a refined, light-toned wood frame featuring a gently stepped profile and a contrasting black inset which creates a striking visual border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Blue Divide

    Blue Divide

    £730

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric 20th century abstract landscape scene that distils nature into its most elemental forms – sky, land, and light – rendered through a restrained yet deeply expressive lens, executed in oil onto board and dated 1973.

    A vast, luminous sky in soft, powdery blues stretches across the upper plane, subtly shifting in tone with gentle cloud-like variations. Beneath it, a stark horizon line divides the composition, grounding the scene with a band of deep, inky blues and near-black tones that suggest either a distant sea or an expansive field at dusk.

    The foreground is richly atmospheric, built up with layered, gestural applications of paint. Dark teal, indigo, and earthy umber tones merge and dissolve into one another, evoking a sense of depth and quiet movement. A striking passage of pale, almost luminescent white and aqua near the right side hints at reflected light – perhaps water catching the last glimmer of day – adding a moment of contrast and visual intrigue.

    Stylistically, the work leans toward abstraction while retaining a strong sense of landscape. The artist has employed broad, confident brushstrokes alongside areas of scraping and reworking, allowing underlying layers to emerge. This interplay of opacity and translucency gives the surface a tactile, almost weathered quality.

    Overall, the piece carries a contemplative stillness – an understated yet powerful meditation on horizon, light, and space.

    This oil on canvas is housed a complementary slim wood frame. The painting has some areas of paint loss, consistent with age.

  • Outpost by the Sea

    Outpost by the Sea

    £440

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing mid-century landscape that captures a quiet, sunlit coastal scene, where a solitary white structure rises gently against a calm horizon, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition feels almost dreamlike, softened by distance and atmosphere. The foreground dissolves into abstracted forms of foliage and terrain, guiding the eye toward the central architectural form and the expanse of sea beyond.

    Executed in a loose, impressionistic style, the painting balances structure with spontaneity. The artist has used a restrained yet luminous palette: soft blues and greens are punctuated by sand and sunlit yellows, evoking the gentle heat of a coastal afternoon. The white building acts as a quiet anchor, its simplicity contrasting beautifully with the surrounding painterly gestures.

    Brushstrokes are fluid and expressive, with areas of soft blending juxtaposed against more gestural marks. The paint appears to be applied with a light, confident hand: allowing forms to emerge rather than be rigidly defined. This gives the work an airy, atmospheric quality, as though the scene is suspended between memory and observation.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited and characterful wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The linen border on the frame has some age toning but the frame is otherwise in a good and stable condition.

  • Where the Sky Rests

    Where the Sky Rests

    £810

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A beautifully restrained mid-century modern landscape depicting a sparse rural settlement set beneath an expansive, cloud-laden sky,  executed in oil onto canvas.

    Two low, dark-roofed cottages sit quietly along the horizon line, their whitewashed walls rendered in simplified, almost geometric forms. A solitary vertical pole punctuates the composition, while angular planes of earth in the foreground lead the eye gently inward, suggesting embankments or cultivated land.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the composition embraces minimalism and balance. The buildings are reduced to essential shapes, their proportions slightly flattened, creating a calm, contemplative atmosphere. Space is expressed through broad horizontal bands – sky, land, and foreground – rather than through intricate detail, giving the work its serene, architectural clarity.

    The colour palette is muted and earthy, dominated by soft sand tones and deep browns. The sky is a subtle wash of pale grey with faint hints of green and blue, lending the scene a quiet, overcast luminosity. Dark charcoal accents in the rooftops and vertical elements provide contrast and anchor the composition.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and controlled, with thin, even applications of paint that emphasise shape over texture. Areas of soft blending in the sky contrast with the more defined, deliberate edges of the buildings and landforms. The overall effect is one of stillness and introspection.

    This oil on canvas is well presented in a well-suited wood frame with a grey-brown finish and an inner linen lining. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
