Signed English Countryside Watercolor – Framed Landscape, 26″ × 20.5″

Capture the quiet charm of rural England with this signed watercolor landscape. Two riders amble down a sun-washed lane toward a stone village, its church spire rising against rolling hills and a distant peak. Layered washes of soft green, ochre, and slate blue evoke late-summer light, while fine pen accents sharpen cottage eaves, hedgerows, and dry-stone walls—techniques rooted in classical English plein-air tradition.

The 14 ½″ × 10 ¼″ painting is matted in an ivory double-line mount and presented behind glass in a warm honey-oak frame, ready to brighten a study, hallway, or country-kitchen gallery wall.
