Flight at First Light

The artist’s naturalistic style is defined by soft, layered brushwork and a harmonious palette of orange, mossy greens, and muted sky blues. The composition balances movement and stillness – the dynamism of the birds in flight contrasts with the hushed stillness of the surrounding reeds and trees. the delicate treatment of light and mist adds atmosphere and depth, drawing the viewer into a fleeting, peaceful moment in nature.

Lavender Skies

Sold

SOLD

An uplifting and expressive mid-century landscape painted with a refreshing simplicity and a distinctly modernist sensibility, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1954.

A winding peach-toned road leads the eye through open fields towards a cluster of dark farm buildings and trees, their simplified forms sitting beneath an expansive lavender-grey sky. The landscape has been reduced to its essential elements, giving the scene an almost abstract quality while retaining a strong sense of place and perspective.

The artist works with a beautifully unexpected palette. Soft pistachio and sage greens sweep across the foreground, meeting areas of burnt orange and golden yellow, while the warm blush of the road provides a gentle route through the composition. These lighter tones are anchored by deep forest greens, charcoal black and touches of russet around the distant buildings. Above, the broad lilac-grey sky lends the painting its particularly distinctive atmosphere.

Brushwork is loose, broad and wonderfully visible throughout. Areas of paint have been applied in confident, overlapping strokes, with sections of the underlying ground deliberately left exposed. Rather than describing every detail, the artist uses blocks and sweeps of colour to suggest fields, trees and architecture, creating a landscape that feels spontaneous and immediate. The slightly rough edges and changing directions of the brushstrokes add movement and a lovely painterly energy.

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

The Green Gate

Sold

SOLD

A charming mid-century street scene depicting a secluded entrance framed by whitewashed pillars and a deep green gate, executed in oil onto canvas.

Beyond, lush foliage rises above and around the entrance, loosely rendered in overlapping forms that give the impression of a verdant garden hidden from view. The central gateway draws the eye into the composition, lending the scene a wonderful sense of intimacy and intrigue.

Painted in a distinctly modernist, semi-abstract style, the artist simplifies the architectural elements and surrounding foliage into expressive blocks of colour and loosely defined shapes. The strong geometry of the gate and pillars contrasts beautifully with the softer, more organic forms of the nature above.

The palette combines chalky whites, forest and olive greens, yellow, earthy terracotta and muted brown, with touches of dusty pink and mauve. The deep green gate provides a strong visual anchor, while the varied greens and warmer tones suggest abundant foliage catching the light.

The paint has been applied with a wonderfully tactile and expressive hand. Broad, directional brushstrokes and generous passages of impasto build up the foliage, creating a richly textured surface, while looser, thinner strokes define the architecture and foreground. This contrast in handling gives the work a lively, spontaneous quality.

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

The Lounger

Sold

SOLD

A large and vibrant mid-century composition depicting a lounger set within a lush garden overlooking the sea, executed in oil onto canvas.

The empty chair sits prominently in the foreground, its bold orange-red and white stripes immediately drawing the eye and lending the scene a playful, summery character. Beyond, dense foliage gives way to a brilliant stretch of blue water, suggesting a secluded coastal garden and a moment of leisurely escape.

The painting has a distinctly modernist, expressive quality, with the landscape simplified into broad areas of colour rather than carefully defined forms. Trees and shrubs dissolve into overlapping patches of green, chartreuse and yellow, while the chair is more deliberately articulated, creating a striking focal point amid the loosely rendered surroundings. There is an appealing spontaneity to the composition – almost as though the artist has captured an intimate holiday moment before its occupant returns.

The palette is especially joyful. Fresh mint, emerald, olive and yellow-greens dominate the garden, set against an expansive turquoise sky and a band of deep cobalt blue sea. The chair’s warm orange-red stripes provide a vivid complementary contrast, bringing energy and structure to the abundance of greens and blues.

Brushwork is loose, broad and gestural, with visible strokes and areas where the paint appears thinly and freely applied. Drips and unfinished passages toward the lower edge reinforce the painting’s immediacy, while the foliage is constructed through quick, overlapping daubs of colour. The more linear treatment of the chair creates a lovely tension between representation and abstraction.

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

Size: 92.5 x 85.5 cm (including frame)

Along the Blue Coast

Sold

SOLD

A charming mid-century modernist landscape that distils a coastal scene into a series of simplified shapes and harmonious colour fields, executed in oil onto canvas.

Rolling greenery, pale hillside forms, and a deep blue sea are reduced to their essential elements, creating a composition that feels both abstract and recognisably rooted in nature.

The artist employs a distinctly modernist approach, favouring flat planes of colour over detailed representation. Houses emerge from the landscape as geometric forms, their pale facades and muted terracotta roofs nestled amongst rounded masses of foliage. The result is a composition that balances abstraction with a strong sense of place, evoking the warmth and tranquillity of a Mediterranean coastal setting.

The palette is beautifully restrained, dominated by soft sage greens, pale mint tones, cool greys, and varying shades of blue. These colours create a gentle rhythm across the surface, while subtle contrasts between the dark foliage and luminous architectural forms provide depth and visual structure. The expansive blue sea and sky lend the work a calm, contemplative atmosphere.

Brushwork is confident. Broad, deliberate applications of paint define the landscape through shape rather than detail, while visible texture and vertical traces within the paint surface reveal the artist’s hand. The slightly uneven application of colour enhances the work’s tactile quality, reinforcing its modernist character and lending warmth to its simplified forms.

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

Sold

SOLD

A soothing and restful modernist style river landscape composition, executed in oil and dated 1971.

The composition presents a boat shed situated in lush greenery, and resting by a river where a boat is docked.

The use of a cool and earthy colour palette including shades of blue, green, and brown imbues the painting with a calming feel. Containing impressionist qualities, distinct painterly brushstrokes have been dabbed swiftly across the surface, beautifully capturing the nature landscape and transient conditions of reflection and rippling effect of the water.

This oil on canvas has been laid onto board, and is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. A tiny sliver of the backing board is visible to the top right corner. There is age toning to the linen border, as well as light wear to some of the frame corners.

Coastal Path

Sold

SOLD

A very atmospheric and expressive landscape painting, executed in oil onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood.

It is a dynamic, abstracted landscape that captures the essence of walking along a windswept shoreline trail. It blends expressive brushwork, shifting textures, and a vivid, elemental palette to evoke both the physical and emotional experience of the coastline.

Pink dashes and shapes dance across the centre, adding rhythm and possibly indicating human presence, wildflowers, or directional markers on a path. The brushwork is loose, textural, and emotionally charged, capturing fleeting impressions over literal depiction.]

Overall, the painting conveys solitude, discovery, and elemental energy. It’s less about representing a specific location and more about evoking the feeling of being immersed in nature—the wind on your face, the shifting weather, the wide horizon ahead. It celebrates the freedom and introspection of walking the edge between land and sea.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary white frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Cottage Among Green Hills

Sold

SOLD

An expressive and dynamic mid-century landscape painting scene of houses nestled in rolling green hills, and executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1953.

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

Earth and Air

Sold

SOLD

A beautifully restrained mid-century abstract landscape that distils the essence of open countryside into a series of quiet, expressive gestures, executed in oil onto board.

The composition unfolds horizontally, suggesting rolling fields and distant hills softened by atmosphere and distance. Rather than describing a specific place, the artist captures the feeling of land, its stillness, breadth, and gentle undulation.

The palette is subtle and earthy, dominated by layered greens ranging from moss and olive to brighter, more luminous passages that suggest fresh grass or sunlight breaking through cloud. These tones are grounded by muted browns, evoking soil and natural terrain, while soft washes of pale grey and off-white above create a vast, overcast sky. A darker, almost charcoal passage to the right anchors the composition, providing contrast and visual weight.

The brushwork is loose, gestural, and confident. Broad horizontal strokes define the landscape planes, while thinner, vertical marks in the foreground suggest grasses or reeds, lending a sense of immediacy and texture. Areas of exposed ground and visible canvas contribute to the painting’s modernist sensibility, allowing the viewer to witness the artist’s process and movement. The application alternates between opaque and translucent layers, creating depth while maintaining an airy openness.

A loose procession of trees stands across a gently undulating terrain, their elongated trunks and clustered canopies forming rhythmic vertical accents against an expansive, open ground. The composition suggests a quiet pathway or clearing, inviting the viewer into a moment of stillness and contemplation.

Small yet effective in its composition, the artist balances abstraction with suggestion, allowing the trees and landforms to emerge through simplified silhouettes and gestural marks. The scene feels atmospheric rather than descriptive, prioritising mood and spatial harmony over precise detail.

The colour palette is beautifully restrained, featuring soft sandy browns, muted greens, and warm earth tones, offset by cooler hints of blue-grey and. Subtle variations in tone create depth while maintaining a cohesive, meditative calm throughout the composition.

The brushwork is expressive, with dry-brush textures and broken strokes allowing the raw canvas to breathe through the paint layers. Areas of loose stippling and softened edges lend the trees a sense of movement and presence, while the open ground is rendered with broader, horizontal sweeps that enhance the painting’s quiet, expansive atmosphere.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame shows scuffs and signs of age, with some areas of gilding chipped away, consistent with its age.

Rhythms of the Wind

Sold

SOLD

A vibrant mid-century modernist abstract painting that captures the essence of a dynamic landscape through expressive colour and bold, gestural form, executed in oil onto canvas.

Angular hills in deep burgundy, forest green, and charcoal anchor the composition, while slender white tree trunks stretch vertically across a kaleidoscopic backdrop.

The trees, with their loosely rendered, wind-blown canopies of green, sway dramatically, suggesting motion and energy. The background unfolds in blocks of pastel and saturated hues – blue, lavender, peach, lemon yellow, and vivid cyan – creating a sense of fragmented light and spatial ambiguity.

Executed in lively, expressive brushstrokes and confident swaths of colour, the work evokes both the emotional resonance of nature and the structural experimentation of modernist form.

Sunlit Balcony

Sold

SOLD

A vibrant and joyfully expressive mid-century painting that captures the view from a sunlit balcony overlooking a blue sea, executed in oil onto canvas.

In the foreground, terracotta pots overflowing with pink flowers rest upon a richly hued red-orange floor, while a delicately curved white wrought-iron chair invites the viewer to sit and take in the scene. Beyond the golden railing, a cluster of white sailboats glides gracefully across the deep indigo waters, with the warmth of a distant shoreline and a serene sky above completing this idyllic Mediterranean vista.

Painted in a bold, modernist style, the work features lively, gestural brushstrokes that build texture and movement throughout the composition. The artist’s palette brims with complementary contrasts – vivid reds and oranges against cooling blues and greens – evoking both warmth and breeze.

Under the Desert Sky

Sold

SOLD

A compelling abstract landscape with figure oil composition, painted in 1961 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 painting captures a quiet moment of communal gathering in what appears to be a sun-drenched desert setting. A group of robed figures, seated in a loose circle, are rendered in simplified forms that emphasise posture and gesture rather than facial detail – inviting the viewer to focus on atmosphere and collective presence over individual identity.

The style is modernist and pared-back, with strong influences of mid-century abstraction. The artist distils the scene into broad planes of colour: a soft blue sky meeting a warm band of yellow horizon, and earthy tones of russet, sand and umber defining the ground. The figures themselves appear as sculptural blocks of white, cream, black and deep brown, forming a rhythmic arrangement across the composition.

Brushstrokes are thick, confident, and deliberately visible, with the paint applied in textured swathes that give the work a grounded, tactile quality. The artist’s expressive technique conveys a sense of stillness and the intimate social rituals of desert life.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary ridged gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some wear to its corners as shown.

Where the Land Fades

Sold

SOLD

A large and very atmospheric painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

A vast expanse of soft blue-grey sky dominates the composition, while the landscape below is suggested rather than defined through loose passages of sage green, chalky white, dusty pink and muted mauve. Fleeting marks hint at fields, water, distant trees and perhaps a road or pathway disappearing into the scene, but nothing is quite fixed — allowing the landscape to hover beautifully between abstraction and reality.

With its large size, it has real presence without feeling overpowering; its generous scale and wonderfully subdued palette give it a quiet, contemplative quality that would bring both softness and interest to a room.

This painting is housed in a very complementary silver frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some light scuffing.

Size: 68.5 x 88 cm (including frame)

A vibrant mid-century modernist street scene composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

The artwork portrays a pathway with autumnal trees, their foliage bursting with deep oranges, reds, and yellows. The background features blues and greys, likely representing distant mountains under a pale sky.

Modernist in its ethos with semi-abstract qualities, there is a focus on form, colour, and movement, as opposed to realistic details. The various forms have been simplified into angular, geometric shapes, and the composition has a dynamic feel.

Back Home

Sold

SOLD

A warm and evocative landscape that captures the emotional essence of returning to a familiar place, executed in oil onto board.

Rather than focusing on precise detail, the artist distils the scene into interlocking planes of colour, allowing memory and atmosphere to take centre stage.

Soft lilacs, warm golds, pale turquoise blues, and delicate pinks bathe the scene in a gentle light. The colours feel remembered rather than observed, suggesting the emotional landscape of “home” rather than a literal location. Thick, confident brushstrokes and layers of paint add texture and movement, giving the work a vibrant, tactile presence.

The painting balances abstraction and representation beautifully. Houses, water, hills, and pathways are all recognisable, yet they dissolve into a harmonious arrangement of colour and shape.

This oil on board is presented in a custom made wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Coastal Curve

Sold

SOLD

A serene and uplifting mid-century modernist coastal landscape painting, executed in oil onto board.

The painting captures a sweeping coastal road as it bends gently toward the sea. Modernist in its ethos, the composition is defined by its bold simplification of form – trees, path, and shoreline reduced to expressive, geometric shapes in contrasting colour.

The brushwork is confident and flat, with areas of solid colour laid down in deliberate blocks, creating a sense of stylised stillness. Trees appear as abstracted vertical forms, their trunks and canopies subtly suggested rather than rendered in detail.

Muted tones of green, grey, and earthy taupe dominate the land, while the sea is rendered in serene blues punctuated by white sails, adding rhythm and motion to the horizon. The sky, a dusty olive-grey, creates a harmonious counterbalance to the grounded palette below.

This oil on board is housed in very well suited wood frame. there is some wear on the left edge of the painting where it meets the frame, but the painting is in good vintage condition overall. The frame has very minor scuffing.

Fields Beyond the Viaduct

Sold

SOLD

A charming mid-century modern composition that presents a serene landscape scene viewed from an elevated vantage point, executed in oil onto canvas.

A cluster of white farm buildings with distinctive red roofs nestles among gently undulating fields, while a graceful arched viaduct traverses the middle ground, guiding the eye through the composition. Scattered trees punctuate the rolling terrain, lending rhythm and balance to the peaceful agricultural setting.

Executed in a modernist, semi-abstract style, the painting simplifies the landscape into broad geometric forms and carefully balanced shapes. The composition captures the essence of the countryside rather than its precise details, where structure, colour, and mood take precedence over realism.

The palette is beautifully restrained, comprising muted sage greens, dusty blues, soft browns, warm browns, pale creams, and gentle greys. The small accents of terracotta red on the rooftops provide a focal point and introduce warmth against the otherwise subdued tones.

Brushwork is loose yet deliberate, with thinly applied paint and broad, confident strokes defining the contours of the fields and hillsides. Soft blending and layered washes create a sense of depth and atmosphere, while visible directional brushstrokes lend movement and texture to the cultivated landscape. The result is a composition that feels both tranquil and thoughtfully constructed.

Fruit & Lilac Jug

Sold

SOLD

A charming mid-century modernist still life that presents a carefully arranged tabletop composition featuring a stylised lilac jug, a bowl filled with green fruit, and a sliced fruit resting alongside, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1950.

Containing elements of abstraction, the artist reduces each object to simplified geometric forms, creating a harmonious balance between shape, colour, and space.

The painting is executed in a restrained modernist style, with flattened forms and an emphasis on pattern and structure over detail. The objects are outlined by soft, irregular white contours that lend the work a playful, almost collage-like quality. The arrangement is thoughtfully composed, with each element occupying a distinct visual rhythm across the elongated horizontal format.

The colour palette is fresh and understated, combining soft aqua blues, pale mint greens, dusty pinks, and muted lavender tones. These gentle hues are balanced against creamy off-white passages, creating an atmosphere of calm and light. The subtle contrasts between cool and warm colours add depth while maintaining the painting’s serene, airy character.

Garden Parasol

Sold

SOLD

A joyful mid-century expressive landscape that captures a garden setting bathed in warm summer sunshine, executed in oil onto canvas onto board and dated 1964.

A colourful outdoor table and chairs sit beneath a large parasol, surrounded by lush trees and flourishing greenery that fill the composition with life and movement. Rather than focusing on grand scenery, the artist celebrates an intimate outdoor retreat, evoking leisurely afternoons, conversation, and the simple pleasures of the season.

Executed in an expressive modernist style, the painting embraces bold simplification and energetic mark-making over fine detail. The composition is built from confident shapes and rhythmic forms, lending the scene a lively, almost spontaneous quality. The elevated viewpoint and cropped composition draw the viewer directly into the garden, creating a sense of immediacy and immersion.

The palette is vibrant and uplifting, dominated by a rich spectrum of emerald, lime, olive, and turquoise greens contrasted with sky blues and refreshing aqua tones. Warm accents of crimson and burgundy in the chairs and table introduce a striking focal point, while touches of soft cream, browns, and pale lavender balance the composition with subtle warmth. Together, the colours convey the brilliance of sunlight filtering through dense foliage.

The artist’s brushwork is loose, confident, and highly expressive. Broad, visible oil strokes sweep across the canvas, layering colour with remarkable energy and texture.

Light Over the Valley

Sold

SOLD

A serene mid-century modern semi-abstract landscape that distils the countryside into a harmonious arrangement of colour, shape, and light, executed in oil onto board.

Rolling fields unfold across the foreground, leading the eye towards a tranquil body of water and a scattering of farm buildings nestled beneath distant blue-grey hills. A small stand of stylised trees anchors the composition, lending both rhythm and balance to the expansive scene.

Executed in a distinctly Scandinavian modernist manner, the painting favours simplification over detail, reducing the landscape to broad geometric forms and carefully calibrated planes of colour.

The palette is soft and restrained, dominated by creamy whites, muted sage greens, pale yellows, and layered blues that recede gently into the horizon. Subtle touches of lavender-grey and warm earth tones add depth and atmosphere, while the luminous sky bathes the entire scene in a delicate, diffused light.

Mediterranean Escape

Sold

SOLD

A well executed mid century modernist landscape, painted in oil onto canvas.

This sun-drenched Mediterranean landscape is rendered in broad, expressive brushstrokes with a modern, impressionistic touch. It captures a seaside scene full of warmth, movement, and coastal charm.

The foreground is dominated by lush green foliage, painted with bold, confident strokes. The greens vary in hue, creating depth and rhythm.

A whitewashed building with an orange-tiled roof is partially obscured by greenery. This architectural touch gives the scene a sense of place, suggesting somewhere Southern Europe.

Behind the building, a sliver of deep blue sea stretches across the canvas, meeting the sky and separated by rocky coastal formations and windswept trees, their simplified, curved forms bending toward the sea.

The brushwork is loose, gestural, and painterly, favouring emotion and movement over precision. The artist uses a limited but harmonious palette of greens, creams, ochres, blues, and terracotta, invoking the feel of a hot, breezy afternoon.

This oil on canvas is set in an elegant linen and silver frame, lightly textured, which adds a touch of refinement while echoing the sun-bleached tones of the scene. The painting is excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some age marks to the linen border.

Size: 55.5 x 64 cm (including frame)

Old Wall Patterns

Sold

SOLD

A lyrical landscape that captures the poetry of the countryside through colour, texture, and memory, painted in oil onto canvas.

A winding pale path or stone wall meanders through rolling fields, leading the eye gently into the distance. The landscape unfolds in layers of soft golds, muted greens, russet reds, and dusky mauves, creating a patchwork of fields and vegetation that feels both observed and imagined. A hillside rises across the middle ground, dotted with delicate tree forms rendered as decorative marks and textured clusters, giving the scene a tapestry-like quality.

The title suggests that the landscape is shaped by the enduring presence of old boundary walls—those subtle human interventions that become absorbed into the natural rhythms of the land over time. The pale, serpentine line crossing the composition acts as both a visual guide and a reminder of the history embedded in the terrain.

The artist’s handling of paint is expressive and atmospheric. Layers of translucent colour, scratching, and textured brushwork create a sense of depth and weathered age. Rather than describing every detail, she evokes the feeling of a landscape shaped by seasons, memory, and time.

This oil on canvas is framed in a custom made wide profile frame that suits it wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Size: 39 x 39 cm (including frame)

Quiet Fields

Sold

SOLD

A calm mid-century composition that presents a serene, pared-back landscape where open fields stretch toward a low horizon line punctuated by a small cluster of distant farm buildings, executed in oil onto board and dated 1959.

A solitary structure – possibly a barn or haystack – anchors the composition, subtly drawing the eye while preserving the painting’s overall sense of stillness and space. The foreground is rendered in darker, earthy tones, gradually giving way to lighter, muted fields that lead into an expansive, softly washed sky.

Stylistically, the work leans toward minimalism and tonal abstraction, characteristic of mid-century landscape painting. The artist has simplified forms and reduces detail, allowing atmosphere and composition to take precedence over realism. There is a quiet balance between geometry and softness – the fields are divided into gentle planes, yet edges remain blurred and understated.

The colour palette is restrained and harmonious, dominated by cool, pale blues in the sky and warm, sandy beiges and greys across the land. Subtle transitions between tones create depth without sharp contrast, evoking a calm, almost contemplative mood.

Brushstrokes are loose and have been applied with a light, confident touch. The paint is thinly layered in areas, allowing underlying tones to breathe through, while slightly thicker applications in the foreground add weight and texture. The overall handling feels intuitive and unforced, enhancing the painting’s quiet, meditative quality.

This oil on board is housed a beautiful wood frame with a layered profile and an inner white border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor marks.

Quiet Passage

Sold

SOLD

A beautifully atmospheric mid-century abstract landscape that captures the quiet rhythm of a valley through expressive colour and simplified form, executed in oil onto canvas.

Rolling hills frame an open plain, while hints of fields and pathways emerge from broad, gestural passages of paint. Rather than depicting a specific location, the artist evokes the sensation of moving through an expansive countryside, where changing light and shifting weather become the true subject.

Painted in a lyrical, semi-abstract modernist style, the composition balances recognisable landscape elements with confident abstraction. Forms dissolve into blocks and planes of colour, creating a harmonious interplay between structure and spontaneity. The expansive sky occupies much of the composition, lending the work a wonderful sense of openness and calm.

The palette is soft and understated, featuring airy blues, sage green, muted teal, dusty pink, warm browns, sandy beige and touches of terracotta, all enlivened with creamy white highlights.

Expressive brushwork is central to the painting’s appeal. Thick, painterly strokes are applied with confidence, with palette-knife-like marks adding texture throughout the surface. Sweeping gestures define the sky, while shorter, layered strokes build the landscape below, allowing colours to overlap and intermingle. The result is a work that feels both immediate and contemplative, celebrating the expressive qualities of paint as much as the landscape itself.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt wood frame surrounded by a wide textured linen slip. Both the painting and frame are is in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 46.5 x 49.5 cm (including frame)

Quiet Shoreline

Sold

SOLD

A tranquil and atmospheric mid-century landscape depicting a quiet waterside scene beneath a luminous, overcast sky, executed in oil onto board.

Dense trees anchor the composition on the left, their rich foliage contrasting beautifully with the expansive sweep of pale water and sky beyond. In the distance, a solitary sailboat glides across the calm surface, while a faint shoreline dissolves into the atmospheric haze, creating an impression of remarkable depth and serenity.

Executed in a loose, impressionistic style, the painting captures the essence of the landscape rather than its precise details. Broad, confident brushstrokes and softly blended passages allow forms to emerge naturally, lending the work a quiet spontaneity. The restrained composition embraces negative space, with the vast sky becoming as important as the land itself, reinforcing the painting’s contemplative mood.

The palette is beautifully understated, composed of muted greys, soft blue-greens, sage, olive, and deep forest tones, gently enlivened by touches of warm browns along the shoreline. The subtle tonal transitions between sky and water create an almost ethereal atmosphere, while the darker mass of trees provides a striking visual counterbalance.

Brushwork varies from expressive, layered strokes within the foliage to delicate, feathered applications across the water and sky. This contrast between richly textured foreground elements and the softly painted distance creates a convincing sense of perspective and invites the viewer into the peaceful stillness of the scene.

This oil on board is presented in a beautiful wood frame with a gently distressed cream finish, and complemented by gilt detailing around the inner and outer edges. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and there is some light craquelure visible on the inner top white section of the frame.

Size: 65.5 x 74 cm (including frame)

Riverside Cottages

Sold

SOLD

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.
