Three original vintage paintings acquired together and previously framed. Two are signed/initialed “AK,” dated 1966 and inscribed “Canada.” The third is unsigned.
All three have been removed from their vintage frames and are being sold unframed. One frame had cracked glass; the glass and frames are not included.
📦 Offered together is an unusual lot of three original vintage landscape paintings, each measuring approximately 9" x 12", acquired together in older frames.
Two of the three works are signed/initialed “AK,” dated 1966 and inscribed “Canada.” The identity of the artist has not been established, and no attribution beyond the visible signature/inscription is being made.
The two signed works depict Canadian-style woodland and mountain landscapes executed in a distinctive mid-century manner using muted greens, blues, grays, ochres and earth tones. The artist makes extensive use of the warm-toned ground as part of the compositions, combined with loose painted passages and fine linear details.
The third painting depicts a large mature tree beside water in a similarly subdued natural palette. It is unsigned and is not being attributed to AK. It is included with the two signed paintings because all three were acquired together and share the same approximately 9" x 12" format and related landscape subject matter.
One painting is executed on a vintage HI-ART Canvas Panel, marked on the reverse:
“HI-ART CANVAS PANELS – Genuine Canvas Surface – Primed and Ready for Oils”
The other works are also executed on textured artist supports. Because the precise paint binders have not been professionally tested, the listing does not make a definitive attribution of the medium for all three.
These are original hand-executed artworks, not prints or reproductions.
The paintings were removed from their vintage frames for inspection and photography and are being offered unframed, allowing the buyer to see the complete compositions and inscriptions that had previously been partially concealed beneath the frame edges.
A particularly appealing group for collectors of Canadian art, mid-century landscape painting, vintage plein-air/study paintings, signed 1960s artwork, or original small-format landscapes.
