Farmworker Timothy sorting and storing apples. A lovely atmospheric work in the dark interior of the oast house, where the aproned worker is carrying apples to store for the winter. The artist dated the front "1993-95" indicating he completed this over two years. Medium: acrylic on canvas laid on board, unframed Painting : 11 x 15.25 inches Provenance: all the paintings we have by this artist have come from a private UK collection of this artists work. Condition: The painting is in overall very good and sound condition. Artist: Norman Arthur Olley was born in 1908 to a British Army family stationed in Lucknow, Bengal India. His mother died there in 1911, and his father in 1936. Norman married in Gravesend Kent in 1937, and at the beginning of the war in 1939 he was an aircraft sheet metal worker. He and his wife to Surrey in the late 1940's -early 1950's where he was a long term member of the Thames Valley Arts Club and where he regularly exhibited his work. In 1951 his painting "View from Richmond Park" was held in high regard at a very well attended exhibition in Esher, Surrey. The East Molesey area was one of his favourite areas to paint, a 1953 Art Club report showed he had completed what was thought to be the only painting of the old cricket pavilion there and included the figure of a famous local dog "Pat" who had retrieved over five hundred cricket balls from the Thames. In October 1954 he exhibited alongside work by Terence Cuneo who lived very close by to Norman. Norman was "well known in artistic circles" and a prolific painter of traditional English pastoral scenes with figures, and often with a dog in the scene. He passed away in Chatham, Kent in the summer of 1996, after returning to the county by 1961.

Located in West Hollywood, CA
This 48 inch square original textural painting of trees on canvas is wired and ready to hang. It is signed by the artist on the back. The thick layering of colorful paint, resin, glitter and other mixed media elements present a dazzling tactile nature to the work. This would be a marvelous addition to any collection. ABOU THE ARTIST - For over 20+ years, Haleh Mashian’s art has colorfully illustrated her unique, astute view of the world, both real and imagined. As a painter and creative expressionist, Mashian’s abstract works reveal her appreciation of color theory, compositional form, and the study of positive and negative space. Working in mixed media and using a variety of techniques from collage to impasto, a repeated layering and application of paint, Mashian’s dynamic pieces range from smaller artworks that can be arranged together to large-scale paintings. Her large-paneled paintings have been exhibited nationally in Los Angeles, Miami, and other art enclaves and are included in private collections in the United States and abroad. Her creativity extends into other forms as well. Haleh has included fashion design, digital art, and music into her repertoire of boundless expression. She is the Founder and Lead Designer for MASH City, her innovative men’s and womenswear collection. Originally from Iran, she is a longtime resident of Southern California with a Studio in Santa Monica where she lives with her husband and two children. TREE SERIES - The Tree Series presents an intricate study of positive and negative space and the mystery of multitudes in minimalism. These canvases, often large-scale, have the effect of walking into a multicolored forest. Art critic, Peter Frank, speaks of this series with awe: “Haleh Mashian does not paint trees. She does not paint forests. She paints the condition that persists between trees and forests...
