Vintage Original Fine Art Oil Painting of Boats on Stormy Shore by Carl Berndtsson Click  here  to buy or read more information about this painting on Etsy SOLD Original Vintage, Fine Art Landscape painting from Sweden, signed C Berndtsson. Oil on newspaper applied to board. Great painting of boats beached on a stormy shore. Thickly applied paint in beautiful tonal blues ranging from aqua to grey. Carl Berendtsson studied at the Royal Art Academy in Stockholm and worked both in Europe in Scandinavia. His earliest work shows the influence of French post-impressionism but later works became increasingly more modern in appearance, often reducing scenes to a few simple shapes. He must have had some international success as a painter as I see references to him on international art sights and his paintings are listed at much higher rates. Measures 39cm high x 51cm wide. Good vintage condition. SOLD

SOLD Click here for more information on this painting on Etsy:  Vintage Oil Painting of Sailboats in Harbor Another great painting by an unsigned artist. It's a shame artists don't sign their work. It's something I am guilty of too. But, when I find a piece like this, obviously painted with a skillfull hand, I feel frustrated not being able to put a name to it. Maybe it just adds to the intrigue of this piece.  On the back it says "Cliffs at Starndhagen- Arild". Arild is a coastal town about 30km above Helsingborg that attracts artists by the droves for its scenic views and many plein air painting opportunities. SOLD
