Dachshund

Sold

SOLD

A very endearing and engaging canine composition of a Dachshund, painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

The dog is shown in profile, standing proudly with its signature long body, short legs, and alert expression. Its smooth black coat is accented with warm reddish-brown markings on the muzzle, chest, and paws, giving it both character and charm.

The background sets the scene indoors: a mustard-yellow paneled wall, a simple white-trimmed window revealing green hills and blue sky outside, and a purple floor that provides a playful contrast to the dog’s dark coat. The composition is clean and geometric, with flat planes of color that emphasize shape and form rather than detail.

This oil on board is housed in a black frame with inner gilt detail. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

Emerging Blooms

Sold

SOLD

An expressive and contemplative mid-century still life that presents a cluster of budding flowers rising against a softly textured ground, executed in oil onto board and dated 1964.

The artist has captured the moment just before full bloom – tall stems stretching upward, their petals tightly furled, with hints of soft pinks and yellow-greens suggesting the promise of colour beneath the muted surface. The composition feels both organic and abstracted, with the flowers arranged in a rhythmic, almost sculptural formation.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting embraces reduction and suggestion rather than strict realism. The forms are distilled into elongated strokes and blocky shapes, creating an atmospheric impression rather than a literal depiction. The palette is beautifully restrained: cool greys, slate blues, muted greens, and gentle off-whites dominate, punctuated by occasional touches of pink and lemon yellow at the tips of the buds.

The brushwork is thick, tactile, and deliberate, with impasto passages that give the surface a rich physical presence. Vertical strokes define the stems and buds, while broader, more textured swaths shape the surrounding foliage and background. The overall effect is both calming and quietly dramatic.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffs.

Figure in Profile

Sold

SOLD

A striking mid-century modernist figurative painting, executed in oil onto board by the established Swedish artist Ingvar Elén (1915–1973), whose artworks have represented in public collections including the the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the National Museum in Sweden, and the Sörmlands Museum.

The composition presents a simplified female figure shown in profile, rendered with a serene and contemplative presence. The artist has reduced the form to sculptural planes and soft geometric shapes, creating a harmonious balance between abstraction and the human silhouette.

Set against a warm terracotta-red background, the figure is built from earthy, muted tones: olive green, beige, soft cream, and gentle peach and browns – each colour block carefully placed to suggest light, shadow, and the natural curvature of the body. The palette feels both understated and bold.

The brushstrokes are deliberate yet textured, with visible strokes that give the flat planes a subtle tactile depth. Edges are softly defined rather than rigid, lending the piece a graceful, contemplative rhythm. The overall effect is calm, refined, and deeply atmospheric – an elegant study of form and restraint.

A beautiful example of mid-century modernist figurative art, perfect for collectors who appreciate minimalism, colour harmony, and sculptural silhouettes.

This oil on board is presented in a very well-suited gilt frame with an inner moulding with visible wood grain. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Geometric Pathway

Sold

SOLD

A bold and striking mid-century abstract landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1958.

The painting presents an interpretation of trees and a pathway, set against a backdrop of sky and fields. Containing elements of cubism as well as geometric abstraction, this landscape scene has been skilfully deconstructed and reduced into angular and geometric shapes, as well as bold lines.

The colour palette is restrained – with earthy shades of greens contrasting with cool tones of blues.

The brushstrokes are deliberate and flat, emphasising form and shape, and allowing the viewer’s eye to focus on the interplay of colour and geometry.

This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited light blue painted wood frame. The painting has very small areas of paint loss on its left side as shown in the photos, but this is only noticeable upon close inspection. The frame has some general scuffing as shown in the close ups.

Market Day Under the Sun

Sold

SOLD.

A mid-century modernist oil painting that captures the quiet charm of a sunlit village square on market day, executed in oil onto board.

In the foreground, a vendor stands beside a rustic wooden cart laden with fresh produce, partially shaded by a large parasol. Additional market stalls, some green canopies, dot the square, their displays adding splashes of red, orange, and green to the scene. Figures move leisurely among the stalls, their forms simplified yet expressive, lending an almost timeless quality to the market’s atmosphere.

The artist has used a modernist sensibility, with strong compositional contrasts between light and shadow. Sunlight spills across the cobblestones, casting deep angular shadows, while the muted facades of surrounding buildings form a subdued backdrop, allowing the market activity to take centre stage. The palette is warm and harmonious – sandy orange, terracotta, soft greys, and earthy greens – with vibrant bursts of colour in the produce.

Brushstrokes are confident and broad, with areas of flat, blended colour offset by more textured, visible strokes in the umbrellas and produce. The treatment is painterly – focusing on shape, light, and atmosphere rather than fine detail.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary hessian-lined wood frame with an inner cream border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Modernist Mosaic

Sold

SOLD

An excellent and striking mid-century modernist style geometric abstract composition thats celebrates form and colour, executed in oil onto board.

The painting features an array of interlocking geometric shapes – rectangles, triangles, and circular forms – arranged in a dynamic interplay. Characterised by its abstraction, bold use of colour, and clean geometric lines, the composition is a vibrant exploration of form, colour, and balance.

The palette is rich and varied, featuring purples, greens, blues, warm yellows, and softer shades, all punctuated by the bold orange and red of the circles.

The brushstrokes are smooth and deliberate, adding depth and character to the flat planes of colour. The layering of paint suggests a thoughtful and methodical approach, with each shape carefully defined against its neighbours.

This oil on board is housed in a very well-suited wood frame with an inner linen and gilt border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition and has no paint loss. There appears to be some paint transfer which probably took place when the artist was working on the piece. The frame has some minor marks but is in very good condition too.

Nude on Chair

Sold

SOLD.

A large and striking mid-century modernist style nude figurative painting, executed in oil onto board.

A female nude figure seated on a chair punctuates the center of the composition. She is positioned in a relaxed pose, yet her lack of facial features lends an air of mystery. The background is striking, dominated by a large block of red, which contrasts harmoniously with smaller panels of blue and green that both have yellow undertones.

The artist has used short and expressive brushstrokes, creating a lightly textured surface. Colours are layered thoughtfully, blending the bold with the subdued, resulting in a painting that evokes a soothing quality amidst vibrant energy.

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

Pastoral Geometry

Sold

SOLD

A serene mid-century modernist landscape that captures a cluster of farmhouses nestled within a stylised patchwork of verdant fields, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition evokes the stillness of the countryside, with a rhythmic interplay between architectural form and geometric land divisions. Rendered in a cool, muted palette of sage, grey and hints of dark brown, the scene exudes a meditative calm.

The artist’s brushwork is confident yet restrained – large flat planes and subtle tonal shifts create a softly abstracted effect, lending the landscape an almost dreamlike quality. The sky is rendered in pale washes, while the layered fields below suggest distance and depth through carefully constructed blocks of colour.

This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning frame with multiple profiles. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has very some scuffing, but this is in keeping with its vintage style.

Size: 51 x 91 cm (including frame)

Purple Blooms

Sold

SOLD

A refined mid-century interior still life painting that captures a bouquet of vivid purple flowers arranged in a clear glass vase, resting on a neatly folded napkin atop a coral-toned table, and executed in oil onto canvas.

The blooms radiate warmth and structure with their concentric circles and velvety textures. To the left, a cluster of green figs provides visual weight and organic contrast to the floral arrangement.

The composition is anchored by balanced geometry – a vertical vase, crisp edges of the napkin, and the gentle horizontal plane of the table – all of which play harmoniously against the soft verticals of the window and muted wall. The style is characteristic of mid-century modernist still life, embracing quiet elegance and considered simplicity.

The palette is restrained yet warm: dusty greens, deep purples, soft browns, and earthy coral tones. Brushwork is controlled yet expressive – blended in the background but more textured and sculptural in the rendering of the petals and fruit, offering depth and intimacy to this serene domestic scene.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffing.

Sheep at Rest

A atmospheric mid-century modernist painting that depicts a serene landscape where a small flock of sheep are gathered in the cool shade of a large tree, executed in oil onto board.

The composition is defined by a restrained and soothing palette of blues, dusty greens, and soft greys, evoking a sense of tranquility. The brushwork is expressive and subtly textured, adding depth to the tree’s canopy and the rough terrain. Wispy, abstracted elements create a feeling of movement, as though a gentle breeze stirs the leaves

St Ives Head I (Very Large)

Sold

SOLD

Free UK delivery only.

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

This abstract oil painting of St Ives Head conveys a powerful impression of the Cornish landscape through bold colour blocks and expressive brushwork. The composition is dominated by a strong horizontal division:

The lower portion features lush, vibrant greens, suggestive of the headland’s grassy terrain. These greens are layered and varied, with hints of dark shadows and occasional streaks of red and orange adding depth and movement. A sweeping form of deep black and charcoal arcs through the upper and middle sections, perhaps alluding to the rocky outcrop of St Ives Head or the moody Atlantic shadows. This shape anchors the piece and creates dramatic contrast. Surrounding these darker masses, icy blues and muted whites evoke the sky and sea, with the brushwork ranging from smooth to vigorously textured. Pops of pink and red in fine linear marks add visual interest and energetic tension across the central area.

The painting is both abstract and landscape-inspired, distilling the raw essence of the coastal headland into expressive colour fields and gestural marks. It reflects the elemental forces of land, sea, and weather typical of St Ives, rendered in a deeply personal, modernist style.

This very large oil on board is housed in a complementary light grey frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Stillness in Blue Light

Sold

SOLD

A striking and uniquely textured mid-century interior still life that captures a moment of quiet elegance within an abstracted domestic setting, executed in oil and ink onto board.

At the heart of the composition is a white table rendered with gestural precision, holding a dark bowl of yellow fruit and a tall blue vase with two red flowers. The background unfolds in a layered wash of shadowy arches, pale teal walls, and textured architectural forms—suggesting a moody, introspective room awash with diffused natural light.

The artist has used a distinctive impasto technique, building up the surface with thick, expressive brushstrokes that carve out depth and texture, particularly in the arched doorway and floor reflections. A palette of deep ultramarines, smoky greys, siennas, and muted aquas sets an evocative, almost theatrical atmosphere. Linear incisions and palette knife work add to the painting’s sculptural quality, giving a sense of movement and tactile richness.

A quietly compelling composition that balances structure with emotion, light with shadow.

This oil and ink on canvas is housed in a complementary hessian lined frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffing.

Terracotta Roofs

Sold

SOLD.

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

This painting beautifully captures the essence of a peaceful village landscape through a modernist lens, reducing the scene to essential shapes and colours. The interplay of geometric forms, earthy tones, and textured brushwork creates a tranquil, structured composition that evokes a sense of timelessness and quiet beauty.

The scene is dominated by white and beige buildings with terracotta roofs, arranged in a way that creates depth and perspective. The foreground features a stone wall and a small courtyard, leading the viewer’s eye toward the central structures. In the background, rolling green and blue mountains provide contrast and a sense of scale.

The paint is applied with visible, textured brushstrokes, giving the scene a slightly rough, organic quality. The simplified shapes and slightly flattened perspective enhance the painting’s modernist approach.

The balance between abstraction and realism makes the scene feel both structured and timeless. The emphasis on light and shadow, though subtle, adds depth.

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

Vibrant Interior

Sold

SOLD

A lively mid-century interior scene painting that captures a vividly colourful and expressive depiction of a domestic space, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition centers around a room with vibrant furnishings, including a wooden chair, a bookshelf filled with books, a yellow lampshade, and an adjacent room seen through an open doorway. The secondary room, bathed in bright light, hints at a more spacious and airy ambiance, in contrast to the cozy foreground.

The artist has used bold, angular brushstrokes and a palette dominated by deep blues, rich oranges, vibrant greens, and touches of yellow. The colours are juxtaposed with an intensity that emphasises both structure and warmth. The expressive, gestural brushstrokes add light texture and movement, giving the painting a lively, almost rhythmic feel. The painter’s loose yet deliberate approach to form and colour results in an energetic, spontaneous atmosphere.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver-painted wood frame with an inner brown wood window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffing at its corners.

Dalmatian

Sold

SOLD

A very endearing and engaging canine composition of a Dalmatian, painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

The dog is shown in profile, sitting upright with a graceful, calm posture. Its body is a clean, flat white, patterned with scattered black spots that give it character and texture.

The background is divided into two strong colour fields: a deep terracotta red upper section and a dark earthy brown lower strip, suggesting the ground. This minimalist backdrop highlights the dog, making it the clear focal point of the painting.

This oil on board is housed in in a black painted wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

Fields of Stillness (Set of 2)

Sold

SOLD

An elegant pair of mid-century landscapes that capture the quiet poetry of rural life through a minimalist modernist lens, and executed in oil onto canvas.

Both works feature sweeping compositions that draw the viewer into open countryside scenes – one depicting a farmhouse on a distant ridge under a wide, tranquil sky, and the other showing a meandering country road curving gently toward thatched cottages.

The artist’s style is distinctly modernist, characterised by bold, simplified forms and strong, rhythmic geometry within the land contours. The palette is a refined harmony of sage greens, browns, and teal-blue skies – colours that evoke both calm and structure. Thick, expressive brushstrokes convey texture and light with confident economy, allowing the paint itself to suggest the terrain’s movement and atmosphere.

Together, the pair exudes balance and quiet strength – timeless mid-century pieces that celebrate the stillness and spaciousness of the rural landscape while offering a refined decorative harmony.

These oil on canvases are presented in beautifully complementary mid-century style frames that enhance their serene, modernist quality. One in a soft silvered wood finish, and the other in a champagne-gold undertone finish. Both the paintings and frames are in excellent vintage condition.

Figures in Motion

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed abstract figurative oil composition painted 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.

Small yet impactful in its composition, the painting features a group of figures rendered in a simplified and indistinct manner, suggesting movement or interaction in a serene, almost dreamlike environment.

Abstract in nature, the figures are obscured, and their forms are perceptible only through carefully applied brushstrokes and contrasting colours which hint at their structure.

The muted palette is dominated by soft tones of beige, cream, and light blue, accented by darker shades of black. These colours create a harmonious and calming composition while adding a sense of warmth and nostalgia.

The brushstrokes are textured and expressive, applied with a sense of spontaneity and emotion.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs.

Forest Geometry

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist landscape that reimagines a wooded scene through the lens of abstraction and cubism, painted in oil onto canvas.

The painting depicts a stand of slender trees rising before a distant hillside, their forms fractured into geometric planes and rhythmic verticals. At the composition’s heart, a dark evergreen anchors the scene – its deep green tones contrasting against the softer mosaic of browns, blues, and muted mauves that fill the surrounding terrain.

Through overlapping geometric forms and layered brushstrokes, the artist has constructed the landscape as an interplay of colour and shape rather than a literal depiction of nature. Earthy greens, browns, and yellows are interwoven with muted mauves, cool blues, and touches of rose and teal, creating a sense of quiet motion and depth.

The brushwork is assertive, with visible texture lending a tactile quality to the surface. Planes of colour shift and intersect, capturing the essence of light filtering through trees while also flattening and reordering space — a hallmark of Cubist experimentation.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has scuffs and some areas of paint loss.

Golden Tree

Sold

SOLD

A soothing and very pleasant modernist landscape, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1976.

A single tree, glowing in golden orange, stands proudly in the foreground against a backdrop of whitewashed houses with deep blue roofs and soft foliage. The simplified geometry of the composition lends the scene a calm structure, while the thick impasto and visible brushstrokes add energy and texture to the surface.

The artist has used a restrained palette of earthy greens, warm yellows, and muted greys that evokes a sense of stillness, balancing abstraction with familiarity. The forms are distilled to their essence – the foliage reduced to layered shapes, the tree rendered as a luminous form pulsing with autumnal warmth.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary white wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffs. Please note there is some glare in the photographs.

Harbour & Hillside

Sold

SOLD

A serene mid-century coastal landscape that captures the rhythmic order of a harbour scene rendered through a distinctly modernist lens, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1963.

Clusters of geometric buildings and cranes line the waterfront, their angular forms carefully arranged to evoke both structure and serenity. The distant hills rise gently across the water, balancing the composition with soft undulating lines against the rigid shapes of the port.

The artist has used a palette of muted yet harmonious tones – brick red, sage green, browns, blush, and blue – creating a subdued but richly layered harmony of colour. Each hue appears thoughtfully modulated, suggesting light glancing off the industrial surfaces and calm waters below.

The brushwork is confident and deliberate, with flat, interlocking planes that give the painting an almost architectural rhythm. Despite the simplified forms, there is a deep sense of atmosphere and quietude, as though the bustling port has been momentarily stilled in contemplation.

This oil on canvas is beautifully presented in a linen-lined wooden frame. The painting itself is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some marks as well as some age spots to the linen section, consistent with age.

Letters from the Past

Sold

SOLD

A poignant mid-century landscape capturing a solitary figure walking beneath a windswept tree, executed in oil onto canvas.

The scene is stripped to its essentials: a single bare-limbed tree with sparse autumn leaves and a small red letterbox attached to its trunk, standing against a pale blue sky. Below, an elderly man dressed in a dark green overcoat and cap leans gently on his cane as he walks along a quiet path, evoking a tender sense of solitude and reflection.

Rendered in a restrained, minimalist style, the artist has employed loose, confident brushstrokes and a limited, harmonious palette of muted blues and earthy browns. The tree’s branches, painted with gestural strokes, convey the movement of a cold breeze, while the man’s stillness contrasts with the rest of the composition’s subtle motion.

There’s a poetic simplicity to the piece – both melancholic and peaceful.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Modernist Forest

Sold

SOLD

A very pleasant modernist landscape oil composition dated 1977, and painted by the established Swedish artist Ture Fabiansson (1910-1994), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, The Museum of Art in Gothenburg, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and many others.

The composition presents a forest landscape setting, with simplified trees, rolling hills, and a pathway that weaves through the background. The focal point is a striking orange tree that contrasts against the muted greens, browns, and earth tones of the surrounding foliage.

Modernist in its ethos, the artist has skilfully simplified the composition into bold, flat colour planes and geometric shapes, and there is a focus on form, shape, and colour rather than precise detail.

The brushwork is loose yet controlled, suggesting a painterly technique with visible strokes adding light texture.

This oil on canvas is housed in complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing.

Objects in Conversation

Sold

SOLD

A calm and contemplative mid-century still life painting that presents a pared-back arrangement of everyday objects rendered with a quiet elegance, executed in oil onto board and dated 1959.

At the centre sits a pale green bowl, its rounded form contrasted by the angular geometry of a brown-toned box to the right, in which rests a slender stick of darker pigment. Behind them looms a tall, shadowy bottle form, its deep black silhouette anchoring the composition against a softly tonal grey background.

The artist has worked with a restrained yet evocative palette: muted greens, brown, black, cream, and steel blues. The colours are applied in broad, confident blocks, with thick, textural brushstrokes that reveal the artist’s hand and lend a sculptural weight to the surface. Subtle tonal modulations in the background add depth while maintaining a minimalist sensibility.

Stylistically, the work reflects mid-century modernist tendencies – simplicity of form, clarity of shape, and an emphasis on the quiet beauty of the ordinary.

This oil on board is beautifully presented in a characterful wooden frame with a ribbed pattern, and finished in a light cream with muted gilt edging. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a slight widening to corners but it is in a stable and good condition overall.

Pastel Landscape

Sold

SOLD

A serene mid-century modernist style composition of a southern Spanish landscape, executed in oil onto board.

In the foreground, expansive plains are depicted with large, soft blocks of contrasting colours, omitting realistic details for a more abstract and tranquil composition. A bridge gracefully crosses the scene in the middle ground, leading the eye towards the distant hills that gently extend into the horizon.

The artist has used soft and gentle brushstrokes, utilising a muted yet uplifting pastel colour palette that includes shades of green, blue, orange, and brown. This harmonious blend of pastel colours and forms creates a serene and soothing atmosphere, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty of the Spanish landscape.

This oil on boarder is housed in a unique gilt frame with a red border and bead detailing. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Red Chair by the Fireplace

Sold

SOLD

A quietly atmospheric mid-century interior scene depicting a vivid red chair positioned beside a muted-toned fireplace, executed in oil onto board and dated 1957.

The composition captures a moment of stillness, where the bold hue of the chair punctuates an otherwise subdued setting. The artist has used a restrained palette of earthy browns, greys, and soft greens, allowing the red to command attention and become the focal point of the painting.

Executed in a characteristically mid-century modernist style, the work reflects a minimalist approach to form and detail. The brushstrokes are broad and expressive, revealing the texture of the paint and the artist’s deliberate layering technique. There is a clear sensitivity to balance and geometry, with the verticals of the wall and fireplace contrasting against the angled legs and curves of the chair.

Muted grey-greens and taupes dominate the background, providing a calm, contemplative atmosphere, while the saturated crimson of the chair injects energy and emotional warmth into the composition. The interplay between shadow and light, and the tactile surface of the paint, lend the piece a quiet intimacy that evokes both solitude and comfort.

This oil on board is housed in a beautiful wood frame with light oak grain and a gilt border, which pairs very well with the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition.

SOLD.

A large and soothing mid-century landscape that captures a tranquil countryside view with a winding river cutting diagonally across open fields, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition leads the eye into the distance, where layered hills and a soft, expansive sky stretch across the horizon. The painting conveys both stillness and quiet movement, as the river becomes a guiding line through the scene.

Painted in a modernist, mid-century manner, the artist has used broad, expressive brushstrokes and simplified forms rather than meticulous detail. The work leans towards abstraction while retaining enough realism to evoke a recognisable landscape.

The palette is earthy yet luminous, with rich greens, browns, and muted burgundies in the foreground fields. A bold streak of deep blue defines the river, contrasting against the surrounding land. Above, soft creams, pale pinks, and gentle blues create a sky at once atmospheric and serene, suggesting the shifting light of late afternoon or early evening.

The brushwork is loose and gestural, laid down in broad sweeps that capture the essence of fields, sky, and water. The layered strokes in the sky suggest drifting clouds, while horizontal blends across the horizon create depth and atmosphere. The foreground is built up in thicker, more textured strokes, giving the land a grounded presence against the airy openness above.

This large oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, The frame has light age-related wear, including some scuffs to the gilded section, which do not detract from its overall presentation.

Size: 58.5 x 79 cm (including frame)

Seaside Promenade

Sold

SOLD.

A soothing mid-century coastal scene painting that depicts a group of figures strolling along the edge of a beach, framed against a vast expanse of sea and sky, executed in oil onto canvas.

The figures are loosely rendered, their forms blending into the shifting sands and soft spray of the tide, creating a sense of transience and movement. Two smaller figures appear in the foreground, suggesting a family outing or leisurely gathering at the water’s edge.

The painting is executed in a semi-impressionistic style, with broad, fluid brushstrokes capturing the energy of the ocean and the play of light across the water. The sky dominates the composition, filled with sweeping clouds in layered whites, greys, and soft blues, giving the scene a sense of both grandeur and atmosphere.

The palette is natural and harmonious – muted greens, sandy ochres, pale creams, and cool blues evoke the breezy, shifting qualities of a coastal landscape. The figures are touched with deeper, warmer hues, providing contrast and rhythm against the softer tones of sea and sky.

The brushwork is expressive and spontaneous, with textured layering that enhances the sense of movement in the clouds and the restless tide. The overall impression is one of fleeting beauty – a captured moment of everyday life along the shoreline, alive with atmosphere and painterly vitality.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

Seated Woman with Letter

Sold

SOLD

A large and brilliantly executed mid-century modernist style figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition presents a contemplative female figure seated on a simple chair, her body angled gently to the side as she holds a folded piece of paper in her hand. The faceless portrayal lends the work a universal quality, allowing the figure to embody both anonymity and intimacy.

The style is distinctly modernist and abstracted, with simplified forms, flat planes, and carefully balanced geometric blocks of colour. The composition is built on interlocking shapes, where body, chair, and background meld seamlessly, reinforcing the quiet harmony of the scene.

The palette is warm and earthy, with shades of terracotta, brown, and sienna set against muted peach, pale creams, and soft blues. Darker tones in the figure’s dress contrast with the lighter background, creating depth while maintaining the painting’s restrained, introspective mood.

Brushstrokes are broad and deliberate, with smooth transitions that emphasise form rather than detail. The painter resists naturalism, instead favouring abstraction and tonal rhythm to evoke atmosphere and feeling.

This oil on canvas is presented in a wood frame with a white inner border. The painting has some light marks to its surface but nothing that detracts from its overall attractiveness. The frame has some areas of paint loss as shown, but is otherwise in good stable condition.

Size: 89 x 51.5 cm (including frame)

The Overlook

Sold

SOLD

A mid-century painting that captures a group of sightseers gathered at a scenic overlook, gazing out toward a hazy mountain range framed by coniferous trees, executed in oil onto board and dated 1946.

The figures are rendered with a sense of casual observation, some engaged in quiet conversation, others lost in the vast landscape beyond. Their poses suggest a shared yet silent moment of awe.

Painted in a modernist-naïve style, the artist has simplified human forms and natural elements into broad, expressive shapes. The composition is structured yet loose, with the figures arranged rhythmically along a wooden railing that guides the viewer’s eye toward the distant peaks.

The colour palette is soft and muted, dominated by pastel blues, pine greens, earthy browns, and warm flesh tones, evoking a misty afternoon in the mountains. The brushwork is brisk and visible – short, textured strokes give vitality to trees and garments alike, while the background mountains are softly blended to suggest atmospheric perspective.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary distressed style wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 48 x 55 cm (including frame)
