  • A Quiet Village

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A delightful and very textured street scene painted in oil, depicting a group of houses in a village. The colour palette used parallels the natural world, with a mix of neutral tones such as white, earthy orange, and variegated greens. It is a highly textured work, with several areas of distinct impasto (where the paint has been applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface) creating a three dimensional effect.

    The painting is currently unframed, and is painted onto sturdy board. It could be displayed in its current state on an easel or leant against a shelf. It is in very good vintage condition. There is some surface paint loss to the outermost edges but this does not detract from the main image.

    Size: 26 x 38.5 cm (unframed)

  • The Catch

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very large and vibrant oil painting on board with a wonderful array of details to notice. The painting almost ‘unfolds’ before  us as we look at it, with lots of individual areas of detailing becoming apparent as we let our eyes wander across the picture. At first glance we notice the main scene taking place in the foreground, where a group of fishermen surround their catch of the day. Then we start to notice the other activities taking place, such as the woman spinning yarn on the right, as well as the features of the cityscape beyond. Then, almost as if to surprise us, little animals along the lower border soon reveal themselves to us – the rabbit, frog, dog with bird in mouth, and duck. Even as the picture recedes, the artist has taken great care to paint in all the details, including the cranes and factories in the far distance.

    This wonderful painting with so much to offer measures 80.9 x 48.1cm. There are some areas of paint losses to the bottom of the painting but this would be easily covered by a frame.

    Size: 80.9 x 48.1cm

  • The Teaparty

    Sold

    SOLD

    This wonderful and delightful early 20th Century garden scene depicts three ladies taking tea outside. The artist has composed the scene in the impressionist manner, reminiscent of the famous garden party works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The ladies perch on garden chairs, while one rests against a tree, drinking tea from a small table.

    Subtle dappled sunlight from the tree canopy above aids the picturesque, calm qualities of the setting, and the overall composition has a distinct and purposeful elegance.

  • The Troop

    Sold

    SOLD

    This 20th century oil on canvas presents a still life that is carefully composed and well-balanced.  The artist has used fine brushstrokes to portray a detailed array of tableware on a wooden top. We can detect the use of chiaroscuro, a technique in art that uses the contrast of light and shadow, giving the objects a sense of three-dimensionality and volume.

    The artist has chosen not to hide the age and wear of the objects, and has deliberately chosen to include the staining on the plate and the discolouration on the pitcher in the middle, highlighting the functional and practical use of these objects in everyday life. The silverware stand strong and proud, with a robust and determined manner.

    This painting provides a wonderful parallel to life’s journey – often filled with challenges and hardship, but a reminder that we should always persevere, and make the deliberate choice to to take pride in our scares and embrace it as part of our life story.

    This is painted in acrylic on stretched canvas, and  is in fine vintage condition.
