Original Oil Painting "Foul Play" By Paul Blaine Henrie 1965

This is an original oil painting titled "Foul Play" by Paul Blaine Henrie, created in 1965. The painting depicts a dynamic scene with figures that appear to be engaged in a struggle or conflict, rendered in an expressive, somewhat abstract style. The color palette includes vibrant reds, yellows, blues, and greens, with thick impasto application of paint that adds texture and depth to the surface. The brushwork is loose and energetic, contributing to the overall sense of movement. The painting is presented in a dark-colored wooden frame with a lighter wood inner mat. There are no apparent major condition issues visible in the image, such as tears or significant paint loss, but closer inspection would be needed to assess the condition of the canvas and frame fully. The style is indicative of mid-20th century expressionism or abstract art. The identification of the artist and creation date adds significant value and historical context to the piece.
