Fields in Springtime

An expressive mid-century oil painting depicts a sweeping landscape view, freshly awakened with the vitality of spring, executed in oil onto board.

The land stretches broadly under an expansive sky, the furrowed fields rendered in warm browns, yellow, and soft greens, suggesting freshly turned soil and new growth. Patches of verdant green brushstrokes punctuate the earth, hinting at the season’s renewal, while clusters of trees appear on the horizon, their foliage painted in luminous tones of green.

The style is painterly and expressive, with bold, gestural strokes that convey the texture of the earth and the gentle energy of the season. The artist’s use of textured brushstrokes and layered colour adds depth and rhythm, allowing the viewer to sense both movement and stillness within the landscape. The pale sky, rendered in soft whites and cool blues, emphasises the openness of the scene and provides a delicate contrast to the richness of the fields below.

Stylistically, the work balances naturalistic observation with painterly abstraction – the forms are suggested rather than detailed, allowing colour and gesture to evoke the mood of the land.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame.  The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a very small loss to its corner top left corner.
