L. Morales Signed Impressionist Farmstead Landscape Painting

This is a rectangular oil or acrylic landscape painting on canvas or board, executed in a post-impressionist or folk art style. The composition depicts a rural farmstead featuring two primary yellow-ochre buildings with terracotta-tiled roofs, set against a rolling green hillside under a pale, hazy sky. Two brown horses or mules are grazing in the middle ground. The foreground is dominated by various agricultural elements, including distinct haystacks (ricks) on the left and right, and a large white rectangular patch that may represent laundry drying on the grass or a specific crop field. The color palette is earthy and warm, utilizing greens, ochres, browns, and soft blues. The brushwork is thick and gestural, showing visible texture and impasto. The painting is signed 'L. Morales' in the lower right-hand corner in a dark pigment. The overall condition appears stable, though there is some slight blurring in the photograph, and the edges show typical wear for an unframed piece from the mid-to-late 20th century. The quality of light and simplified geometric forms of the buildings suggest influence from early 20th-century European landscape traditions, possibly Spanish or Latin American in origin. There are no obvious signs of restoration, though some minor paint loss or abrasions may be present along the extreme periphery of the support.
