Scenic Oil Painting Appraisal

Mountain Waterfall Landscape Oil Painting

This item is an original oil painting on canvas depicting a vibrant mountain waterfall landscape. The painting features a waterfall centrally located, cascading into a flowing river or stream. The color palette is dominated by deep blues for the water and sky, with various shades of green and yellow for the lush foliage and trees that frame the scene. The trees exhibit a dense, textured application of paint, suggesting a rich canopy. The texture on the foliage is quite notable, indicating the use of a palette knife or thick brushstrokes, creating a three-dimensional effect. Several brown and orange-hued rock formations are visible within and alongside the water, adding depth and structural elements to the composition. The water itself shows movement with lighter blue and white accents suggesting currents and foam, particularly around the rocks. The painting appears to be set on a stretched canvas, observed from its edges, and is currently positioned on an artist's easel, though the easel is not part of the appraised item. There are no visible prominent artist's signatures or marks from the provided images. The style appears to be amateur or hobbyist, characterized by expressive brushwork and a focus on natural elements. The overall condition appears good with no obvious tears, punctures, or significant paint loss, although some minor wear or dust might be present given its display on an easel. The painting exudes a serene, natural ambiance, reminiscent of traditional landscape art but with a slightly more contemporary execution in its texture and color saturation. Given the 'Home made oil landscape' context, it is presumed to be a recent creation, likely within the last few years.
