Mid-Century Mountain Landscape Oil Painting by Newton

This is a mid-to-late 20th-century landscape painting executed in oil on canvas, housed in a substantial tiered wooden frame with a metallic gold-tone finish and a textured linen-style liner. The composition features a classic wildness scene with a tall cluster of coniferous trees in the foreground left, a calm lake or river reflecting the sky, and a dramatic, snow-dusted saw-tooth mountain peak in the background catching the light of a setting or rising sun. The artist has used a wet-on-wet technique similar to the 'Bob Ross' style, characterized by palette knife work on the mountain facets and fan-brush stippling for the foliage. The color palette relies on earthy ochres, deep forest greens, and titanium whites, with a signature visible in the lower-left corner reading 'Newton'. There is visible evidence of water damage and foxing on the right side of the inner linen matting, which has caused brown staining. The paint surface itself appears intact, though the frame shows minor scuffing consistent with age. This work represents a popular genre of 20th-century decorative Americana fine art.
