Looks like it’s had a rough life. But I really like it. Maybe a bit of an impressionist vibe?

    Signed Hank or Henry or something and maybe a date? It’s 64 x38cm. What do you think of it? Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you and keep well.

    I like it too. That little bay there looks like someone who knew what they were doing. Unframed, huh?

    Quite a pretty thing. If I had to date, I'd think cusp-ish 1950s-1960s from pastel palette and loose, dreamy execution. Cypress always make me think of Italy's lake district but something about your work doesn't look observed, as if it's depicting the idea of a place rather than its reality.

    Hi Debora,many thanks for your interesting and informative comment. So the thought of Italy’s lakes as a possible idea and inspiration for the painting (the lakes sounds like a good call) Will search some more
