Ann Latimer Art Appraisal

Abstract Landscape Watermedia Piece by Ann Latimer

The item is a framed fine art piece, appearing to be either a watercolor painting or a high-quality print of one, matted within a white border. The artwork depicts an abstract or semi-abstract landscape, dominated by a muted and earthy color palette with hints of brighter accents. In the upper portion, dark greens and grays suggest dense foliage or reflections on water, with some areas exhibiting a mottled texture. The middle section features lighter tones, possibly representing a water body or reflective surface, characterized by vertical and horizontal brushstrokes or lines that create a sense of depth and movement. Towards the bottom left, there's a highly textured area in deep reddish-browns and oranges, reminiscent of rocky terrain, possibly with sparse vegetation, and accented with white resembling snow or frost. The composition is dynamic, with visible brushwork and layered colors, indicating a skilled hand. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious signs of damage, tears, or major discoloration visible within the frame. There is some glare on the protective glazing, which obscures minor details in some areas, but the color fidelity seems well-preserved. A key feature is the visible signature in the lower right corner, appearing to read 'Ann Latimer' followed by what looks like 'Hyblah' or 'Hyclah' in a flowing script, suggesting the artist's name and possibly a location or series name. The white matting provides a clean border, enhancing the artwork's presentation. The visible portion of the frame suggests a simple, likely metallic or painted wood design, complementing the artwork without distracting from it. Given the style and potential signature, the piece likely dates from the mid to late 20th century or early 21st century.
