Hillside Farmstead

A mid-century modernist landscape captures a tranquil and vast scene, with rolling hills leading to a cluster of farm buildings nestled beneath an expansive sky, executed in oil onto board.

A patchwork of green pastures, earthy fields, and tilled farmland stretches across the composition, punctuated by the warm terracotta and deep blue roofs of the distant barns.

Executed in a bold, simplified style, the artist has reduced forms to broad, geometric planes, lending the piece a harmonious yet abstract quality. The palette is a muted blend of earthy browns, olive greens, browns and blues, with subtle lavender accents in the distant trees.

The brushwork is confident and expressive, applied in broad, decisive strokes that capture the shapes and tonal shifts of the landscape without intricate detailing. This painterly approach lends the work a sense of immediacy and rhythm, evoking the fleeting impressions of a scene observed in shifting light.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary linen-lined frame with a gilded inner edge. There are some water marks visible along the left edge of the painting, as well as marks to the linen border of the frame, both consistent with age. Overall, the piece remains stable and displays beautifully.
