The handmade paper shows age toning, surface marks, pinholes, creasing, handling wear and irregular deckled edges. There are visible losses, nicks and roughness to the lower edge, with further wear and small losses to the corners and outer margins. The painted image remains atmospheric, decorative and visually appealing. **Description:** A striking 20th century European School watercolour landscape, painted on textured handmade paper and inscribed verso **Sierra Nevada Spain**. The composition depicts a dramatic mountain range with snow-covered peaks, layered slopes and a dark band of distant cloud or sea beyond. The scene has a bold, simplified quality, combining the atmosphere of a travel study with the structure of a modernist landscape. The painting is particularly appealing for its graphic treatment of mountain forms. The artist reduces the Sierra Nevada view into broad planes of muted blue, grey, brown, ochre and cream, allowing the snowy ridges and angular slopes to stand out clearly against the darker background. The result is atmospheric yet design-led, with the mountain landscape arranged almost as a series of abstract colour fields. The handmade paper adds considerable character to the work. Its warm natural tone, visible fibres, pinholes and irregular deckled edges give the piece a tactile, artisanal quality, enhancing the sense of the painting as an original travel study or plein air-inspired work. The painted area sits within the sheet, leaving the surrounding handmade paper visible and giving the work a distinctive object-like presence. The verso inscription identifies the subject as **Sierra Nevada Spain**, giving the piece useful topographical and search appeal. The Sierra Nevada mountain range in southern Spain has long attracted artists and travellers for its dramatic peaks, changing light and contrast between high mountain scenery and warmer Mediterranean tones. This watercolour captures that sense of rugged landscape through a restrained but expressive palette. This original work would appeal to collectors of Spanish landscapes, Sierra Nevada paintings...

Sunday on the Wye [2021] SOLD UNFRAMED Please note that insitu images are purely an indication of how a piece may look The artist comments "I painted 'Sunday on the Wye' after a day on the river canoeing with the family. It was a wonderful day meandering down stream near Symonds Yat. We turned the bend to see other boats congregated on the pebbles for a Sunday picnic. We beached our boat to take in the surroundings. The day was a great experience with sparkling light on the water and the sounds of the water over rocks. A few quick sketches and many photographs allowed me to then work at a large scale in the studio. It was painted with large brushes with watercolour. The chosen colours are blue and green. The painterly brush marks hold an energy and excitement of the days paddling." This work is sold unframed Artwork by artist Leigh Glover...

**Title:** Green Fields Country Landscape Modernist Watercolour on Handmade Paper **Artist:** European School, 20th century **Medium:** Watercolour on handmade paper, unframed **Size:** x inches **Signature:** Unsigned **Stamped verso:** No stamp visible from the images provided **Provenance:** Private collection **Condition:** Fair to good vintage condition. The handmade paper shows age toning, surface marks, pinholes, handling wear, creasing and irregular deckled edges. There is old tape or adhesive residue visible along the upper edge, with small nicks, roughness and wear to the outer margins. The painted image remains fresh, atmospheric and decorative. **Description:** A subtle 20th century European School watercolour landscape, painted on textured handmade paper and depicting an open countryside view with green fields, distant buildings and a low wooded hillside. The composition is arranged in soft horizontal layers, with pale green fields stretching across the foreground and a darker tree-covered slope rising to the left. The painting is particularly appealing for its quiet modernist treatment of landscape. Rather than describing the scene in exact detail, the artist reduces the countryside into broad washes of green, ochre, blue-grey and brown. The distant buildings and horizon line are lightly suggested, giving the work the feel of a travel study or plein air sketch, focused more on atmosphere and colour than strict topographical precision. The handmade paper adds considerable character to the piece. Its warm natural tone, visible fibres, pinholes and irregular edges give the work a tactile, artisanal quality. The painted image sits within the sheet, leaving the surrounding paper visible and giving the work an attractive object-like presence. The reverse bears an indistinct handwritten inscription, possibly a location or title, though it is not clear enough to confidently identify. The work is therefore catalogued broadly as European School. Its gentle palette and open rural subject would appeal to collectors of country landscapes, modernist watercolours, handmade paper artworks, European travel studies, green field paintings...
