A quiet and contemplative still life that depicts a simple tabletop arrangement of three green pears and a small blue-grey cup, set against a softly textured background, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2008.

The composition is minimalist, yet imbued with a gentle rhythm and balance: the curved organic forms of the pears play harmoniously against the cylindrical solidity of the vessel.

Rendered in a modern impressionist style, the artist employs loose, visible brushstrokes and layered applications of paint, creating a tactile surface that evokes both depth and light. The palette is composed of delicate shades of green, lemon, sky blue, and muted grey, conveying a serene and contemplative mood. The soft blending and impasto technique suggest a sensitivity to form and colour rather than strict realism, giving the work a quiet poetic presence.

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

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 energetic mid-century still life painting that depicts a bold arrangement of everyday objects rendered with expressive confidence, executed in oil onto board.

At the center stands a tall black pitcher with a sweeping handle, its form accentuated by patches of turquoise, white, and yellow that lend vibrancy and depth. In the foreground, two deep red onions and a bulb of garlic anchor the composition, their rounded shapes contrasting with the pitcher’s angular silhouette.

The artist has used a highly textured technique, layering thick strokes of oil paint that leave visible ridges across the surface. The palette is restrained yet powerful, dominated by black, grey, and white, with strategic bursts of colour to enliven the scene. The brushwork is vigorous and gestural, giving the objects a tactile, almost sculptural presence while retaining a sense of spontaneity and abstraction.

At the centre sits a copper kettle, its warm reddish-brown tones catching the light with subtle shifts of dark brown and russet. Behind it rises a blue bottle topped with a stark black dispenser, its vertical form contrasting the rounded bulk of the kettle. In the foreground, a small stove burner anchors the composition, rendered in deep greys and blacks.

The artist has used a confident impasto technique, laying down thick, textured strokes of oil paint that emphasise form and surface over fine detail. The palette is restrained yet striking: earthy browns, deep blues, and muted greys set against a pale, neutral background. The brushwork is vigorous and directional, with strong diagonals and broken passages of paint that create both structure and movement within the scene.

A mid-century still life that presents a striking composition of dark-toned vessels arranged upon a patterned textile, with a sculptural abstract form set against a deep plum backdrop, executed in oil onto canvas.

At the forefront, a tall, slender vase and a rounded jug with a curving spout anchor the scene, their reflective surfaces rendered in moody blacks and greys. A geometric rug in red, blue, and white injects rhythm and contrast, its bold lines echoing the angular presence of the white sculptural form behind.

Executed in oil, the painting reflects a restrained yet expressive mid-century sensibility. The palette is rich but muted – dominated by deep reds, greys, blacks, and earthy neutrals – balanced by the vibrant textile. The brushwork is confident, with layered textures that build form and volume while leaving visible the artist’s hand.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wide wood frame finished in tones of soft grey with brown accents along the edges. The painting displays some craquelure, though the paint layer remains stable overall. There is a very small area of paint loss to the upper half of the picture, as shown in the close up photo. The frame shows some scuffs consistent with age as well.
