Landscape Painting with Stream

This appears to be a framed landscape painting, likely executed in watercolor or pastel given the soft, blended quality of the colors and the visible strokes. The artwork depicts a natural scene featuring a body of water, possibly a stream or pond, weaving through a lush landscape. The color palette is rich and earthy, dominated by greens, yellows, and browns, with hints of blue in the water and deeper greens in the foliage. Various textures are suggested through differing brushwork; some areas show broad, sweeping strokes creating a sense of depth and atmosphere, while other areas, particularly closer to the viewer, depict more defined clumps of grass or reeds with individual strokes. A distinctive element in the mid-ground is a light-colored, vertical structure, possibly a waterfall or a prominent feature on the bank, which reflects in the water. The overall style suggests an impressionistic or post-impressionistic approach, focusing on light and color to evoke a mood rather than precise detail. The signature, partially visible in the bottom right corner, appears to be 'Broughton '06', indicating the artist's name and the year of creation as 2006. The painting is housed under glass within a simple, light-colored frame, likely white or off-white, suggesting a contemporary presentation. The condition appears good, with no obvious signs of damage, fading, or wear visible through the frame. The presence of the signature and date gives it a clear provenance and an estimated age of early 21st century. The craftsmanship is evident in the nuanced color blending and the effective use of light and shadow.
