Mountain Landscape Oil Painting Signed Postma '76

This is a rectangular landscape oil painting on canvas, housed in a traditional wood frame with a metallic bronze-tone finish. The artwork depicts a serene wilderness scene featuring a majestic snow-capped mountain range under a dynamic sky with billowing white clouds. In the foreground, a calm blue lake reflects the sky and surrounding foliage. A single antlered buck is shown drinking from the water's edge near a small waterfall. The artist utilized a vibrant palette including deep violets in the upper sky, bright yellows and greens for the coniferous trees, and touches of autumnal orange and red. The technique is characteristic of the 'wet-on-wet' style popular in mid-to-late 20th-century hobbyist and television-style painting, evidenced by the thick, impasto-like texture in the clouds and stylized fan-brush trees. The painting is clearly signed 'POSTMA 76' in the lower right corner on an stylized white plaque element. The gold-colored frame shows minor surface wear, including some light scuffing and small chips consistent with age. No significant craquelure or yellowing of the varnish is visible, and the canvas appears to be properly tensioned within the frame.
