Hillside Path

A soothing mid-century painting that presents a bold and simplified view of a vast landscape scene, executed in oil onto canvas.

A winding path leads the viewer’s eye through green and golden fields toward a body of deep blue water, flanked by steep, rounded hills in earthy browns and muted purples. A dense green shrub anchors the foreground, providing contrast against the golden fields and the cool expanse of water beyond.

The style is distinctly modernist, with flattened planes of colour and an emphasis on form over detail. The artist has reduced the landscape into strong, geometric shapes, capturing the essence of the scene with clarity and economy.

The palette is rich yet subdued. Brushstrokes are broad, confident, and deliberate, applied in smooth layers that enhance the sense of structure and solidity in the composition. The result is a landscape that feels both stylised and timeless, evoking a sense of journey and distance within its simplified, harmonious design.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame with a warm brown finish that subtly echoes the earthy tones within the artwork. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.
