A soothing and restful mid century modernist landscape composition, painted in oil onto board and dated 1966.

This painting is a textured, impressionistic landscape, capturing a broad expanse of countryside under a soft, partly cloudy sky. The composition showcases a rural landscape with fields stretching into the horizon, interspersed with patches of green vegetation and a light-coloured path or stream that cuts diagonally through the terrain. Earthy tones dominate—soft browns, greens, ochres, and muted purples—suggesting late summer or early autumn. The sky is rendered in pale blues and creams, giving a calm, open feel. The view is wide and slightly elevated, leading the eye from the foreground into the hazy distance, evoking a sense of openness and tranquillity.

This painting conveys a peaceful, contemplative mood, with a focus on natural beauty and the rhythms of the land. The expressive brushwork and muted colour scheme suggest a deep connection to the landscape, while the impasto adds energy and texture, making the scene feel alive and immediate.

This oil on board is housed in a very complementary wood frame with a linen border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
