A striking and expressive mid-century still life painting that depicts a rustic tabletop arrangement, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition presents two elongated fish that rest prominently upon a wooden cutting board. Alongside them are three deep red onions, a stout bottle with a cork, and a tin. Additional small objects are scattered across the scene, creating a sense of domestic simplicity.

Executed in bold, expressive brushstrokes, the artist has used a palette of earthy reds, cool blues, muted greens, and creamy whites, offset by the dramatic dark tones of the draped cloth beneath the objects. The composition balances sharp diagonals with rounded forms, adding rhythm and dynamism to the still life. The painter’s loose, textured strokes and layered colours capture the raw materiality of each item without striving for perfect realism, instead evoking mood and movement.

The overall effect is both vigorous and intimate – a celebration of everyday objects through the lens of modernist mid-century sensibilities.

This oil on canvas is housed in a wood frame with a pale natural grain and an inner silver border, which complements the rustic subject matter and enhances the vibrancy of the painted surface. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

An expressive and painterly mid-century still life painting that presents a serene arrangement of everyday objects, executed in oil onto canvas.

At the forefront sits a luminous white teapot, its rounded form catching light and contrasting with the tall, shadowy silhouettes of bottles behind it. The background features muted geometric shapes, suggesting furniture or architectural forms, further emphasising the structured balance of the composition.

The artist has used a restrained palette of earthy browns, muted greys, soft creams, and cool blues, creating a subdued yet harmonious tonal range. The brushstrokes are confident and textural, with thick, layered applications of paint that bring a tactile quality to the surface. The strokes vary between broad, sweeping movements in the background and more controlled, angular marks on the objects, lending the painting a dynamic rhythm.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffing but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

An energetic mid-century still life painting that presents a lively arrangement of everyday objects, infused with bold colour contrasts and expressive brushwork, and executed in oil onto board.

At the centre, a plate of apples and pears glows in warm tones of red, yellow, and green, set against the cool blues of a decorative vase featuring a painted motif. To the side, a smaller plate of bright green grapes adds freshness to the composition, while a pair of vibrant pink carnations in a glass tumbler bring a delicate touch of nature.

The background, composed of pastel pinks and yellows, is animated with broad, sweeping strokes that suggest the folds of drapery, creating a rhythmic backdrop for the objects. The painter has used strong, confident brushstrokes throughout, blending impressionistic looseness with the structural clarity of modernist still life. The palette juxtaposes cool blues and greys with warm fruit tones, producing both harmony and vibrancy.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary ridged gilt frame. There are some marks present on the vase but the painting is in good vintage condition overall. The frame has some scuff at its right edge.
