A masterful oil painting depicting a serene British country side landscape with some figures along a winding path cutting through a lush, green meadow. Tall, slender trees with sparse foliage in the early spring, with their branches reaching toward a bright blue sky with puffed white clouds. Along the distance, a calm lake reflects the sky and surrounding greenery, adding depth to the composition. The colors are vibrant yet soft, with a mix of greens, blues, and hints of pink and purple in the foliage and ground, which is reminiscent of Alfred Sisley's plein-air landscapes. This piece is an excellent example of the works produced during the 1950s, with its rich color palette and layers of paint giving this work a stunning representation of countryside life. The way Clymer uses flecks of light dashed onto the canvas creates a joy for the viewer to experience. This painting is signed by the artist lower left, and it comes housed in a beautiful classic ornate gold tone wood carved frame and hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed.
