THE QUIET ROAD HOME
Size: 18.9 x 22 inches (including frame)
Oil on board
A soothing mid-century oil painting that captures a quiet street scene lined with houses and trees, bathed in the golden light of the setting sun., and executed in oil onto board.
A row of houses lines the street, their facades softened by warm tones of terracotta, and muted blue. Tall, bare trees rise dramatically against the pale evening sky, their stark branches casting long, angular shadows across the path. A figures on the right has been reduced to a simplified silhouette, move gently along the sunlit road, adding a quiet human presence without disturbing the stillness of the scene.
Executed in a modernist style, the painting emphasises simplified forms and a rhythmic interplay of light and shadow rather than intricate detail. The brushstrokes are bold yet controlled, with swift, directional strokes that echo the lines of the trees and the lengthening shadows.
The artist employs a harmonious balance of warm and cool tones to evoke the calm of twilight. The golden glow of the sunset contrasts with the cooler blue-greys of shaded areas, enhancing the depth of the composition. The mood is contemplative and serene, inviting viewers into a moment of quiet transition between day and night.
This oil on board is housed in a unique lightly toned wooden frame with natural grain patterns, and with an inner cream border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
