Rural Farmstead Landscape Oil Painting

This item is an original oil painting on canvas or board depicting a serene rural landscape. The composition features a central dirt path leading towards a cluster of white farm buildings with brown gabled roofs, nestled among green trees. In the foreground, there are delicate pink and white wildflowers, potentially foxgloves or hollyhocks, blooming near a small stone wall and a rustic fence post. The background shows hazy, blue-toned mountains under a vast, overcast sky filled with soft, billowy clouds. The color palette is dominated by muted earth tones, including sage green, ochre, soft blues, and creamy whites, suggesting a late 20th-century folk art or Impressionist-influenced style. The painting is housed in a wide, rustic wooden frame with a weathered, grey-wash patina and visible grain, which complements the country aesthetic. Notable condition issues include a visible horizontal scratch or surface abrasion in the upper central portion of the sky and some minor scuffing on the frame edges. The brushwork appears deliberate but soft, particularly in the rendering of the foliage and clouds. While no signature is immediately visible in the provided image, the craftsmanship indicates a skilled amateur or commercial decorative artist, likely dating from the 1970s to 1990s.
