'Summer' Oil On Canvas Lady Miller Of Glenlee (1924-2005) Signed Audrey Miller

Beautiful large oil painting on canvas entitled 'Summer' by Lady Miller of Glenlee, signed Audrey Miller, with provenance on verso. Circa mid 1970s.  Lady Miller of Glenlee, painting under her professional name of Audrey Miller, was a Suffolk based artist - see her biography below.

This lovely painting is in its original 1970s frame, with 'Miller' written on the verso of the wooden frame and an attached description from its original exhibition which reads 'Summer, oil, £, Audrey Miller of Glenlee, Ivy Grange Farm, Westhall, Halesworth, Suffolk'.   Restful country scene of what appears to be a thatched medieval cottage set amongst trees and fields on a balmy summer's day. Soft palette of greens, blues and browny-mauves, with splashes of white and yellow. Signed bottom left Audrey Miller.   Undated, but presumed to be mid-1970s.   A lovely, calming, painting which will look wonderful in any interior, period or modern.

Condition:  Condition of painting is extremely good with nothing to worry about. Condition of frame is very good with just one or two tiny corner knocks but nothing to worry about and I would certainly advise keeping in its original frame. Could do with some fresh artist's tape on the verso to secure but I can do that if you wish - just ask me.
