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

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

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

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

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

Size:  40 x 48 cm (including frame)

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)

A lively mid-century painting that captures a tranquil riverside scene, and executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1951.

The composition featuring cottages nestled among tall, leafy trees. A pathway curves along the water’s edge, leading the viewer’s eye toward the cluster of houses – one painted in a soft blue and others in bold reds. Their reflections shimmer on the rippling surface of the river, broken into painterly fragments of green, blue, and brown.

Executed in an expressive, modernist manner, the painting emphasises bold form and movement over fine detail. The composition conveys a sense of immediacy, as though painted en plein air, with a strong focus on colour harmonies and gestural energy.

The palette is vibrant yet balanced. The brushwork is broad, dynamic, and confident, laid down in thick, angular strokes that create rhythm and texture. Each mark remains visible, contributing to the painting’s sense of freshness and spontaneity. The layering of strokes adds both depth and vibrancy, animating the landscape with movement and life.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with a layered profile. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor marks.
