Slender Trees

SOLD

A painterly mid century modernist landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

This painting beautifully captures the essence of a forest landscape through vibrant colours, rhythmic brushstrokes, and a balanced composition. The contrast between dark tree canopies and light trunks, combined with the textured brushwork, creates a dynamic yet peaceful scene. It evokes the tranquillity of nature, inviting the viewer to appreciate the patterns and harmonies found in the natural world.

The central focus is a grove of tall, slender trees with dark, dense foliage at the top and lighter, colourful trunks below. The trees create a vertical rhythm, contrasting with the horizontal bands of the sky and ground. In the foreground, there’s an open grassy area, rendered in soft green and ochre tones. The background fades into a hazy, blue-tinged sky, suggesting depth and distance.

The painting features short, repetitive brushstrokes, creating a textured, almost mosaic-like effect. This technique gives the painting a dynamic, rhythmic quality, as if capturing the gentle sway of trees in the breeze.

This oil on canvas is set in a simple silver frame, which complements the cool tones in the sky and adds a modern touch to the presentation. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffing.

Size: 56 x 67 cm (including frame)
