A delicate mid-century landscape that captures a quiet grove of slender trees emerging through a veil of winter haze, executed in oil onto canvas.

Three distinct trunks: one cool blue, one pale ivory, and one warm reddish-brown – stand gently apart, their forms softened by the atmospheric frost and mist that envelop the scene. The composition conveys a sense of calm solitude, as if the landscape itself has fallen into a moment of suspended breath.

Rendered in a restrained, poetic palette of icy blues, muted lavenders, silvery greys, and mossy greens, the painting reflects mood and abstraction over strict realism. The background dissolves into layered washes of colour, suggesting distant forms and frozen ground without overt definition.

The artist has used loose, expressive brushwork, combining thin, translucent layers with areas of thicker impasto. Vertical strokes elongate the trees, lending them a graceful, almost calligraphic presence, while scumbled textures and softly blended passages create a sense of depth and atmosphere.

Overall, the work achieves a delicate balance between representation and abstraction, evoking the emotional resonance of a winter landscape rather than its precise physical details.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary linen lined wood frame with an inner silver border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

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

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

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

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

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

Size of each artwork: 59 x 51.5 cm (including frame)

An expressive mid-century modernist landscape that captures a quiet riverside valley, executed in oil onto board.

The composition is dominated by angular mountains in deep forest greens and dark charcoals, their rugged forms rendered with bold, expressive brushwork. A wide, silvery river cuts across the middle ground, its surface marked by thick, horizontal strokes of slate grey and muted blue, suggesting the shimmer of icy water. In the foreground, simplified geometric shapes hint at houses or cabins along the riverbank, grounding the scene in human presence.

The palette is restrained yet powerful, with cool greys, steely blues, and earthy greens accented by subtle touches of brown and white. The brushstrokes are vigorous and layered, applied with visible energy that conveys both the weight of the mountains and the restless flow of water. The overall style leans toward abstraction while maintaining the essence of the natural scene, reflecting the modernist drive to distil nature into form, colour, and movement.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary silver frame with black border accents. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
