Original Landscape Oil Painting by J. Hudson

This item is an original oil painting on canvas or board depicting a pastoral landscape, likely of Australian or European origin. The composition features a lush foreground with dense clusters of trees painted in varied shades of olive, sage, and ochre green, executed with visible, energetic brushstrokes that suggest a mid-20th-century impressionist style. The artwork is signed in the lower right corner by an artist identified as 'J. Hudson'. The painting is housed in a period-appropriate decorative frame consisting of an inner linen or textured fabric slip and a gilded, fluted wooden outer molding with a distressed patina. The frame exhibits minor surface wear consistent with age, while the painting appears well-preserved with no immediate signs of cracking or paint loss visible in the photo. The use of light and shadow, particularly in the rendering of the foliage and the distant field boundary fence, demonstrates a professional level of craftsmanship and an adept handle on atmospheric perspective. Based on the framing style and the aesthetic of the signature, this piece likely dates from the 1960s to 1980s.
