Across the Fields | Landscape Mid-Century Oil Painting

Across the Fields is a striking mid-century landscape by William Fleetwood, signed and dated 1958.

Painted in a rich, earthy palette of terracotta reds, ochres, olive greens and soft blues, the composition captures a sweeping view across cultivated fields towards gently rolling hills.

Fleetwood's expressive brushwork and confident use of colour give the landscape a wonderful sense of warmth and openness. Broad passages of paint describe the contours of the countryside, while a low horizon allows the expansive blue sky to bring balance and light to the scene.

There is a pleasing simplicity to the composition, with its strong blocks of colour and understated detail — qualities that make it particularly appealing in a modern interior.

Presented in a vintage natural wood frame with a linen inner border, which complements the painting's warm, organic palette.

A beautifully composed original landscape with all the character and charm of mid-century painting.
