I'm not entirely sure how much the softness of this landscape painting is the product of age, but as it is now it is a subtle and soft and very atmospheric feeling thing, and I love it. With a fallen tree at either side, feeling very much like metaphor, and a play of verticals and horizontals otherwise, rock and cloud of trees. With a big gray sky, almost as if the scene were captured as a wildfire burned nearby, filling the sky with smoke. 

Framed as found, in a well worn antique solid wood frame that I think suits it very well: 12 1/2" x 11 1/2" Oil on canvas painting approx 8" x 7". Good uncleaned condition. Signed and dated at lower right, hard to read, but 19__. Wired on the back for hanging.
