Stunning mid century landscape by listed artist Richard Björklund from Sweden. Gorgeous oil painting of a charming seaside village with the sea on the horizon rendered in harmonious color. Confident painterly brushwork and an excellent composition with depth and atmosphere in this striking coastal scene. I love the way the artist has successfully broken down the composition into flat blocks of color. A beautiful painting that I will probably regret not keeping. A spectacular painting by a sought after and highly regarded artist. My photography does not do this piece justice! International Delivery with DHL included in price.
