A mid-century modernist landscape painting that captures a tranquil autumnal scene with soft, expressive brushstrokes., executed in oil onto board.
The composition features a gently rolling hillside adorned with a grove of trees bearing warm-toned foliage. A distant dark-hued mountain range rises against a muted sky, where pale clouds drift above a hazy horizon. The scene is enveloped in an atmospheric stillness, evoking a sense of quiet reflection.
The artist has used a subdued colour palette, blending earthy greens, deep browns, and soft pastels to create depth and harmony. The brushwork is loose and gestural, particularly in the rendering of the trees, where overlapping strokes suggest the movement of leaves in a light breeze. The foreground is defined by rolling hills with simplified, organic shapes, while the sky is subtly blended with diffused hues, enhancing the painting’s dreamlike quality.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary white painted wood frame. The painting has some painting loss along the bottom edge from a previous frame, but is in good condition otherwise.
