Serene Countryside Landscape with Sailboat & Wild Flowers in the English Countryside by British Artist, Les Parson
Art measures 16 x 12 inches
Frame measures 22 x 18 inches
Serene Countryside Landscape by Les Parson - Original Framed Oil Painting
This tranquil original oil painting by Les Parson beautifully captures the charm of the English countryside. A quiet riverside cottage nestles among dense autumnal trees, while a lone white sailboat rests gently on the still waters, evoking a deep sense of calm and reflection. The wildflower meadow in the foreground adds warmth and softness, drawing the viewer into the peaceful rural setting.
Parsons’ detailed brushwork and soft natural tones are hallmarks of his classic landscape style. The composition balances realism with an almost romantic glow, making it an ideal piece for traditional or country-inspired interiors.
Signed by the artist in the lower left corner, the work is elegantly presented in a distressed ivory wooden frame that enhances its timeless appeal.

The painting is signed "Les Parson" in the lower right corner.
Les Parson has been a popular British Artist with a loyal following for nearly forty years. Despite having a personal interest in art, Parson never received any formal training. Born in Lancashire in 1945, he worked in London as a Computer Engineer until 1974. He then moved to Cornwall working as an installer of Radar, Sonar and Ship to Shore radio on small fishing boats.
In a chance meeting with local gallery owners in 1978, Parson was encouraged to expand his artistic skills and transform his hobby into a career. He therefore put aside his pencil sketching and watercolour paintings in lieu of the more permanent medium of oil on canvas and become a flourishing full-time artist.
As a professional, Les Parson has become renowned for his nostalgic paintings of rural landscapes featuring children at play. His work is internationally recognised and remain highly-sought after by both domestic and international collectors.

Fishermen on a River - Mid 20th Century French Naif Landscape Oil Painting
By André Bouquet
Located in Sevenoaks, GB
A beautiful mid 20th century French naif oil on canvas depicting two men fishing on a river by André Bouquet. The artist is featured in Anatole Jakovsky's ''Peintres Naifs'' which is known as the bible of 20th century naif painters.
The work is signed lower left and presented in it's original gallery frame.
Artist: André Bouquet (French, 1897-1987)
Title: Fishermen on a River
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 16.5 x 19.5 inches (42 x 50 cm) including the frame
André Bouquet was a butcher by trade, who had his stall in open air markets. In order to have more time to paint, however, he became a factory cook and later a foreman in the same factory.
He lived only for his painting, which once he stopped working he did every day of the week, including Sundays. He is a sensitive and delicate artist, especially when depicting Parisian suburbs, of which he has caught the atmosphere remarkably. He also painted numerous snow landscapes.
