A beautiful mid century Swedish coastal landscape scene in oil, painted in 1944. The painting has a very calming colour palette, and is the perfect piece to rest our eyes on. Pastel blues, purples and yellows have been painted in with soft brush strokes, and the general scene is very visually pleasing. A group of figures, possibly fishermen, appear to be hanging out some materials to dry (nets perhaps), with a shed behind them and the sea beyond that. There is an overall softness to this painting, from the palette and brushwork, to the overall coastalscape scene.
The painting is also housed in a gorgeous sand coloured wood frame, with an inner gilt border that illuminates the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A beautiful Swedish mid century composition in oil of a group of chickens, painted onto board. The artist has used a wonderfully earthy palette, and beautifully delicate brushstrokes to paint in the chickens. The overall composition has a very balanced feel to it, with the two middle chickens crossing necks. The texture of the painting is also very pleasing – the medium is smooth and creamy and has a matte feel overall.
The painting is housed in a very complementary dark wood frame which matches the colours in the painting perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The work possesses geometric qualities and is well decorated with a myriad of lines and shapes.
Bright and vibrant primary and secondary colours of red, yellow, blue, and orange dominate the work; and the contrasting thin black lines that go across horizontally and vertically add a strong personality to the overall piece.

A bold and striking still life that displays confidence in both colour and brushstrokes.
A white jug is placed amongst apples on a table top, and is set against an eye-catching background painted in a mix of blues including turquoise and cerulean blue. The overall colours used in this painting are very uplifting, and can brighten one’s home and mood.
Executed in oil pastel, and the artist has embraced various techniques of mixing, smudging and blending the colours with speed and vigour.
This artwork in particular is reminiscent of still life scenes of fruits from Paul Cezanne.
There is a fold that runs through the middle of this artwork on paper (as shown), which although visible, adds an ‘expressiveness’ to the work which is in line with the almost naïve style that the artist has used.
It is housed in a white card mount and a unique blue and pewter frame; and comes glazed (there is a layer of plexiglass between the frame and the artwork).

A delicate oil still life depicting an arrangement of roses in a vase, placed atop a table.
The artist has chosen not to paint the artwork as it appears in its natural colours; and has instead executed it in a unique colour palette choice predominately filled with shades of icy blues and touches of mustard yellow and white.
The painting has a beautiful texture, filled with creamy and smooth paint, and areas of impasto. The artist shows off his painterly skills, displaying both the use of fine brushwork as well as the use of a palette knife.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary gilt frame that has some minor scuffs which do not detract from the overall charm of the painting.

We have here a calm summer’s day, the water is still and the air is cool. To the left a boat is anchored, just beyond the reeds. It is easy to imagine the artist, painting this beautiful sight before them, en plein air. The impressionistic style and subtle impasto has created a highly textured effect, and the artist has left small bits of the board exposed. The clear glassy water beautifully reflects the open skies above, while the richer green colours of the reeds in the forefront pair perfectly with the tree lined background.
The painting is wonderfully presented in a gilt frame with beaded moulding.

A soothing miniature abstract painting executed in oil, painted in 1964. This artist has used elements of abstraction to depict what appears to be a cityscape of buildings, with hints of greenery in the foreground, although this is a subjective interpretation.
Although the contrasting colour blocks of muted pastel tones of sand, grey, taupe imbue the with a sense of calm, the artist’s use of swift and energetic brushstrokes invigorate this work with subtle liveliness.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a gilt frame that has hints of red.

A magnificent oil still life of well decorated table setting. Placed atop a green platform lies an assortment of objects ranging from a vase of beautiful sunflowers, 2 lemons, a pot filled with paintbrushes, a book, and a bottle.
Painted in a vibrant colour palette, the layering of contrasting colours blend so harmoniously and effortlessly. Another striking factor is the short and textured brushstrokes that have been confidently executed, imbuing the work with a sense of three dimensionality and distinct tactility.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a distressed wooden frame with an outer gilt window. The frame has many areas of paint loss commensurate for its age (as shown in the pictures), but this does not detract from the painting and if anything adds to its character.

A soft and lovely work of art rendered in oil, dated 1954.
A group of men are depicted carrying bags of sand on their head, as they transport the goods from one end of a terrain to the next.
The artist has executed the work with gentle brushstrokes; and the selection of the neutral earthy colour palette consisting of green, purple blue and clay imbues the work with a subdued feel of lightness.
The painting is in good condition overall. There are tiny pin holes and losses to the edges on both sides of the painting (as depicted in the images), but in our opinion this does not detract from the work.
It is housed in a very complementary grainy wood frame that is in excellent vintage condition.

A fantastic modernist painting rendered in oil, giving us a glimpse of a mother and son walking along a cobbled pathway.
There is a strong play on geometrical shapes – as the artist has used blocks of contrasting cool pastel colours to create this compositionally well-balanced work of art.
The painted border gives us that sense that we are inside, looking out, passing time and watching the world go by. The scene of a mother walking her child, and him pulling his toy along, imbues the painting with a comforting sense of the every day.
The painting is housed in a very complementary wood frame. Both frame and painting are in very good vintage condition.

We have here a really unique piece that has been painted in oil on both front and back, both still lifes equally stunning. The artist has applied the vibrant tones in an expressive and dynamic manner, accentuating the patterning to the wall and table cloth. This heightens the texture and form of the composition giving the painting an impressionistic and nostalgic feel. There is an additional study on the reverse, showing a breakfast spread complete with butter, rolled napkin and open book.
This vintage painting has accrued patina and areas of losses and scuffing (as seen in the photos) from its journey thus far, but we think it really adds character to the painting(s).
The painting is unframed and is on board, and can be displayed without a frame (allowing you to be flexible about which side you choose to display), but should you wish assistance with framing we are always happy to help. You can drop us a message here or email us at info@discerningpalette.com

A bold and striking landscape view of Stockholm, painted in oil onto canvas. It is evident from the dynamism within the painting that the artist was very captivated by the landscape before him, expressing his own sensations through line and colour. The bold earthy tones of the houses and buildings communicates its physical man-made hardness against the softer, cooler palette of the river running through the city. An artwork like this one is distinctly reminiscent of the landscape paintings by the Modernist artist Paul Cézanne.
The painting is housed in an excellent distressed wood and gilt frame, which has a deep and robust profile. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

An expressive and powerful mid century abstract composition that explores the beauty of colour, form, line and texture within a set space.

This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a thin wood frame, that has minor areas of scuff marks (as shown in the images).

A striking expressionist oil of a moored boat. Thick, bold, and unrefined brushstrokes imbue this painting with palpable energy and dynamism, and we are able to feel the artist’s spontaneity and energy coming through the canvas. It is quite likely that this artwork has been painted en plein air (where the artist works outdoors and has to therefore capture the landscape quickly). Areas of the canvas surface can be seen, and it is precisely this roughness and rawness that gives this painting its character.
The painting is housed in a gilt frame which complements it very well. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs but this certainly does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the painting.

An outstanding impressionist style work depicting an artist painting the beautiful scenery before him on his canvas, en plein air.
This work is certainly a visual pleasure to the eye. The short, swift and energetic brushstrokes are beautifully textured – giving the painting a sense of three dimensionality and invigorating it with much liveliness.
Furthermore, the artist demonstrates a deep understanding of the relationship of colours. Not only has he been able to effortlessly mix and layer colours as they harmonise so well together; but he has also been able to displayed a strong sense of depth in the painting through the use of contrasting shades.
This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is well presented in a wooden frame, with an inner white and gilt mount that further accentuates its beauty.

A uniquely textured mid 20th century seascape of a beach lined with colourful huts, with a cliff nearby.
The artist has skillfully rendered each brushstroke with a grainy-like texture – one that wonderfully simulates the granular nature of sand, giving the painting an overall three dimensional feel. Despite its coarse nature, the work has been executed in a muted pastel colour palette that imbues it with softness and creating a sense of balance.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary vintage gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A quaint and lovely Swedish mid century still life, painted in oil. Potted floral pots sit on a kitchen window sill, with a backdrop of a snowy street scape with a vivid red building. The artist alludes to the fact that it is warm and cosy inside by including the thermometer that sits on the right side, juxtaposing this against the cold landscape outside of the window. There is a distinct homeliness and cosiness to this painting, created by both the subject matter as well as the colour palette.
The painting is housed in a simple white grey frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A very large, striking modernist Swedish artwork painted in oil onto canvas. A minimalist composition of trees on either side of a path forms this picture, painted in a very restrained palette. This piece is perhaps a preparatory study for a final painting – there is a distinct rawness to the almost monochrome palette, where paint has been applied very thinly to the canvas. Yet there remains a palpable beauty to this rawness – the distinct outlines and simplicity of the paint application allow us to focus our attention on the balance of the shapes and forms, including the way the branches of the trees weave in and out of each other, creating structure and pattern within the picture.
This original oil is housed in a beautiful distressed greenish-grey frame, which has a rough and unrefined look to it which we think suits the painting very well. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame is in a ‘distressed’ style and so has imperfections that are intentional. The frame is slightly big for the canvas and so there is a slight gap between the canvas and the frame but this gap is very minimal.

A large and picturesque oil painting on canvas, depicting country fields with haystacks. This textured and expressive painting has a wonderful vintage charm to it, and is reminiscent of works by the famous impressionist artist Claude Monet. The light of the sun is beautifully captured in this large oil, further accentuated by the yellow fields and the row of green trees in the background. Short and distinctive brushstrokes have created a wonderfully matte texture.
The painting is housed in a distressed grey frame which suits the painting and its textures perfectly, and adds to its vintage charm. The painting and frame are in good vintage condition, with some scuffs and marks that are typical for a mid century painting.

Painted in 1959, this seascape in oil has a typically mid century modern feel. Geometric shapes rendered in warm tones of red, blue, and grey form this compositionally balanced nautical seascape. Bold brushwork and palette make up the foreground of the piece, with the paint getting thinner and cooler in tone as it recedes into the background, even allowing the substrate to show through in areas. There is a real tactile quality to this almost abstract painting.

An outstanding oil painting that explores the concepts of minimalism and abstraction.
The artwork depicts a group of sheep situated in between 2 large trees in an orangey yellow landscape setting, where all forms presented are spontaneously outlined in thin black lines.
Upon first glance, this work may be recognised for its childlike simplicity. However as we take time to explore the painting further, we notice that the artist has thoughtfully chosen to eliminate non essentials – focusing our attention to the beautiful essence of colour as well as the qualities of lines that may come across as simplistic but inherently powerful enough to give rise to forms.
This oil on canvas is housed in a grey frame that complements the painting wonderfully. Both artwork and painting are in excellent vintage condition.

The beauty of the natural landscape is already wonderfully magnificent, but what the artist has done in this painting is to take a step further.
He or she has managed to take a mountain – what is usually deemed to be strong, steady and stable in form – and has filled it with life and activity, so much so that it is as active as sky and water surrounding it. The vitality of the brushstrokes – so many of them large, strong and independent, forming patterns and textures all on their own – enlivens the mountains and its immediate surroundings. The artist’s has used his own personal vision and has transformed it into a part of the landscape of the mind.
The painting in good vintage condition. There is a tiny hole on each of the 4 outermost corners from the previous frame but these do not detract from the painting.
It comes in a beautiful fabric-lined wood frame, and there are some marks around the outermost edges of frame.

A large and striking oil painting of boats docked at a quiet harbour, painted in 1958. There is a palpable serenity to this painting without it being too still – dockside buildings sit quietly in the background while a group of ducks glide serenely in the water and seagulls hover above. Nature continues to do its thing, at its own pace.
The artist has used an array of contrasting colours and multidirectional brushstrokes to create depth in the painting. This painting is full of details for us to pick out and notice – a picture that opens up to us slowly and steadily and continues to offer something new each time we decide to look.
The oil painting is housed in a large rustic wood frame. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A vibrant landscape scene of a lush forest, executed in oil.
Depicted in the background of this painting are tall evergreen pines growing sky high, as 2 lumberjacks are seen transporting logs in the foreground.
What’s striking is the unique selection of different shades of green used – including forest, lime, emerald and pine green, as the play of these colours are simply stunning.
Furthermore, the brushworks are confident and expressive, imbuing the work with a sense of movement and freedom.

A stunning mid century Swedish oil on board, painted in 1964. A group of 3 bedouins sit to the right, with a single standing figure forming the focus of the composition to the right. In a typically modernist style, the artist has abstracted both the figures and the landscapes, using blocks of contrasting colour to create depth and a sense of space. The striking blue of the figures’ headscarves and robes contrast beautifully against the sandy browns and greys of the desert landscape. There is a wonderful stillness to the piece which adds to its striking composition.
The painting is housed in a very complementary gilt frame with an inner fabric lined window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

An absolutely stunning and delicate coastal cityscape of La Rochelle in France, executed in oil and dated 1963. This artwork has been painted in a semi-abstract manner, as the city skyline reflects wonderfully in the waters surrounding it.
Composed with a restrained colour palette comprising subtle shades of light blue, grey and yellow – the work is imbued with a sense of calmness and tranquility.
The artist shows off his painterly skills, displaying both the use of fine brushwork as well as the use of a palette knife – giving the work a lightly textured and smooth surface.
Additionally, there is also a thin layer of varnish that coats the surface of the painting. This gives it a layer of shine, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary gilt frame with a linen lining. There are some scuffs and marks on the painting are typical for a mid century painting.

A quaint and colourful evening street scene, set in Paris. Several figures roam the city streets, probably on their way to an evening meal. A warm light shines from a restaurant to the right of the picture, which has a striking red roof. To the lower left of the picture a colourful phone booth stands next to a street lamp. In the background, steps lead toward a clock tower. Despite the ‘busy-ness’ of the painting, there is an air of calm and familiarity.
