Barn Landscape Oil Painting by C. Samay

This item is a framed oil painting depicting a rustic barn scene. The painting features a weathered, brown barn with a purplish-brown roof, situated on a grassy hill overlooking a body of water. The sky above is rendered in shades of light blue and pale yellow, suggesting either dawn or dusk. Lush green and yellow-green foliage surrounds the barn and the waterline, with a distinctive white-blossomed tree on the right side of the foreground. A crude fence made of dark posts and horizontal wires runs along the water's edge, partially obscured by white wildflowers. The brushstrokes are visible, indicating an impasto technique with textural variations, particularly in the rendering of the barn wood and the foliage. The artist's signature, "C. Samay," is visible in the lower left corner in white script. The painting is encased in what appears to be an older, possibly wooden, frame that has been painted gold, with an inner fabric matting in a neutral beige or oatmeal color. The frame shows signs of wear, particularly visible at the bottom where the gold finish is chipped, revealing a darker material underneath. The matting appears to be slightly discolored or soiled in areas. The overall style suggests a traditional, possibly mid-20th-century landscape or 'cabin in the woods' aesthetic, common in popular decorative art.
