Mid-Century Impasto Landscape Oil Painting by 'Walter'

This is an original oil painting on canvas, oriented vertically, depicting a serene mountain landscape. The artwork is executed in a heavy impasto technique, where thick layers of paint are applied to create a tactile, three-dimensional surface. The composition features a rushing blue and white river in the foreground on the left, flanked by rocky outcroppings rendered in dark browns and ochre. To the right and center, a dense forest of coniferous and deciduous trees is depicted in vibrant shades of forest green, lime, and autumnal yellow. In the background, a large, snow-capped mountain peak rises under a pale blue and white sky. The painting is signed in the lower-left corner with the name 'Walter' in a stylized, cursive red script. The work is housed in a simple, thin metallic frame, likely aluminum or silver-toned wood. Stylistically, the piece reflects the mid-to-late 20th-century decorative art movement, reminiscent of the 'wet-on-wet' technique popularized by television painters like Bob Ross or Bill Alexander. The colors are bright and saturated, and the brushwork is quick and expressive. The condition appear good with no visible craquelure, paint loss, or sagging of the canvas, though some minor dust accumulation is present in the impasto ridges. There are no obvious signs of restoration or repair.
