Original Mid Century Framed Oil Painting by Owe Wessbohn When I saw the corner of this piece I knew right away that it would be a fantastic piece. I saw the glow of colors in the bottom right corner behind some other paintings that were stacked against a wall in an old shop and had to pull it out to see it immediately. It's the thrill of the hunt. I sort through so many hundreds of pieces of art when out just to find a few. It's a very dirty job actually but when I come across pieces such as this one it makes it all worth while.  I am really torn about having this one listed or keeping it myself.  The colors are so fantastic. Clear and vibrant in the foreground with more muted colors in the back give this painting life. You can feel the heaviness of the cart the man is pushing. The heaviness is accentuated by the composition form of a triangle. The man's back and the angle of the rocks towards the center create a heaviness and solidity to the subject matter. ...

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.

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
