A charming harbour town scene painted in oil onto canvas, by British artist Elaine Allender.
The painting depicts Polperro Harbour, a quaint and picturesque fishing village on the coast of Cornwall, England. Rows of charming, white buildings are nestled closely together on a hill that slopes gently toward the water. The artist has chosen to portray these houses with gentle, clean lines, emphasising their rectangular windows and doors, lending a sense of harmony and order to the scene.
The brushstrokes are varied – with smooth, controlled strokes used for the buildings, and looser, more textured strokes for the water and hillside. The use of texture in the water creates a lively contrast with the stillness of the town, capturing the timeless charm of Polperro Harbour.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition.

A large and very striking mid century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

He has used a warm and rich palette of terracotta red, orange and black. The paint has been applied thickly, creating areas of impasto and texture throughout the composition.
The painting is on stretched canvas and can be hung unframed. There is some scattered craquelure and general age wear that is commensurate with age, but the painting is stable and looks good overall.
