Satisfying Mid-Century Abstract Oil on Canvas astronomical phenomenon providing inspiration and fortitude

providing inspiration and fortitude

I am completely taken with this small oil on board still life of a couple of oranges

Mid-century or earlier I believe (and indeed

and these marvelously painterly black spots all over

The arms appear to be made of plastic-coated electrical wire

Satisfying Mid-Century Abstract Oil on Canvas astronomical phenomenon providing inspiration and fortitudeI dont buy a lot of mid century abstraction, but when I am out hunting for things I look at everything I come across in search of all things good, which I think this smallish painting very much is! Signed at lower right (I can make out Rog but am not certain the rest of the name), the artist definitely knew what they were doingit appears to me quite a confident painting, and a very resolved one, with a lot of life in it, and of course I also like it
