Oil on board

An expressive and richly textured mid-century landscape composition, executed in oil onto board and dated 1939.

The painting depicts a tranquil rural scene, dominated by a winding path leading towards a small, rustic red cabin. The scene is surrounded by rolling hills adorned with tall, narrow trees, showcasing a variety of green and earthy tones. In the foreground, a tree with sparse leaves reaches over the path, creating a natural arch that frames the view. The background reveals a dense forest on the hillside, painted in darker, muted hues, suggesting depth and distance.

The artist has used an impressionistic style with bold, expressive brushstrokes that give the painting a dynamic and textured quality. The paint is applied thickly, creating a tactile, almost sculptural effect. The brushwork, particularly in the pathway and foliage, is deliberately loose, emphasising movement and the natural flow of the landscape.

The composition features a harmonious palette of earthy browns, greens, and soft yellows, punctuated by the vibrant red of the cabin. The varied shades of green in the trees and fields complement the rich brown tones of the path and hills, evoking a fresh and soothing quality in the painting.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary robust wood frame.. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing but this is in keeping with its vintage style.
