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

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

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

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

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

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.

A calm and atmospheric mid-century landscape that captures a quiet countryside moment, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition presents a road that winds gently through rolling hills toward distant blue-grey mountains. Slender cypress trees punctuate the scene, their vertical forms creating a calm rhythm against the open sky. Small, loosely suggested figures along the road lend a subtle sense of scale and movement, reinforcing the painting’s tranquil, unhurried mood.

Executed in a modernist style, the landscape is simplified into broad shapes and planes, prioritising atmosphere and harmony over detail. The palette is soft and restrained: fresh greens and olive tones in the hills, warm browns and muted earth colours in the land, and cool blue-greys in the distant mountains. The sky is rendered in pale, airy blues with gentle cloud forms, lending the composition an overall lightness and sense of calm.

Brushwork is loose and expressive, with visible strokes that softly blend rather than sharply define forms. The paint is applied with confidence, allowing texture to emerge subtly across the surface. This relaxed handling enhances the painting’s atmospheric quality.

This oil on canvas is is housed in an elegant champagne-gold toned frame with black detail and an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
