About the artist:
Lewis Mitchell (born 1938) is a self-taught Cornish painter celebrated for his unique, vivid, and decorative style, which places his work firmly within the realm of British folk or naïve art. Born in Penzance, Mitchell is known for his highly detailed application of paint and his use of pure, bright colour to create visually busy compositions, taking influence from David Hockney. While his repertoire includes still life subjects, he is perhaps most recognised for his fantastical landscapes of Cornwall that often incorporate elements of the sea and sky, such as ships, aeroplanes, and hot air balloons, imbuing the familiar coastal scenery with a sense of playful wonder. His distinctive approach has led to his work being exhibited in galleries both in Cornwall and internationally.
The product is an original oil painting on board by artist Lewis Mitchell, created in the 1970s. Titled "Two Trees", this medium-sized artwork features a landscape with fields, trees, grass, and greenery. The naïve art style and unique one of a kind (OOAK) piece is framed and measures 56cm in height and 62cm in width. Lewis Mitchell's distinctive oil paint and Sgraffito technique bring a charming and rustic feel to this authentic and vintage artwork.
