An Afternoon at the Pond
A serene, summer scene. Painting shows a peaceful pond surrounded by hills and trees, a few people gather near a row boat. This is one of those pieces that you wish you could step into; it invites you back in time to an afternoon spent on the water, a golden afternoon of boating and sky gazing. This one is moody but not dark or gloomy, it's just the opposite. It glows with a honey colored warmth, it looks like your favourite memory.

A Note About the Photos
I do my best to take pictures that truly represent the painting as it is. Photos are taken in natural light and from different angles so that you can see the true colour, texture and overall condition of the painting. (Please be aware that your individual computer/phone screen may change the colours slightly). I recommend that you study all the photos as these are an important part of the item description and listing.
Please Read Before You Purchase
Please study the photos well! Each item is sold AS IS and is non-refundable as these are true antiques and vintage pieces. As such, you can expect to see the wear of time; now it is my feeling that this wear only adds to the magic and beauty of the object! Many paintings have yellowed, or developed small cracks in the finish, and the frames often have small chips. I do my very best to note and photograph these conditions but you should only purchase if you are absolutely sure about an item! If you have any questions, send me a message prior to completing your purchase. I’m always happy to chat or even send a video.
All pieces are carefully packaged and shipped with tracking details.
