'Small house, Big garden' - James Yates

Dimensions: 25 x 40 cm (10 x 16 in)

Medium: Oil on canvas

Discover the vivid energy of the South African hinterland with this stunning original oil painting, titled 'Small house, Big garden' by celebrated South African artist James Yates. This artwork is a joyous celebration of the landscape, likely depicting a vibrant Namaqualand or Karoo flower season scene.

The intimate canvas measures 25 cm (Height) x 40 cm (Width). The composition is a triumph of colour and texture, where the foreground is dominated by broad, expressive strokes of brilliant yellow, gold, pink, and orange, suggesting an immense field of wildflowers—the titular 'Big garden'. The bold, textured application of paint conveys the vitality and density of the bloom.

The focus of the middle ground is a tiny, white farmhouse, the 'Small house', which appears deliberately diminutive against the overwhelming scale of the landscape and the towering mountains behind it. The mountains are rendered in warm, pink-hued tones, contrasting beautifully with the clear blue sky above. This delightful James Yates oil painting is a superb example of South African landscape art, blending elements of realism with a vibrant, Post-Impressionistic approach to colour. It is ideal for collectors of South African art and admirers of the Western Cape's ephemeral floral displays.
