James Fullarton (Scottish, b. 1946). Untitled (Expressive Farmstead Landscape). Oil on canvas. Art: 30 x 48 inches Frame: 36.5 x 54.5 inches. Condition: Very good. A compelling and highly energetic composition by Scottish painter James Fullarton, this large-scale oil on canvas exemplifies the artist’s distinctive, gestural approach to landscape. The scene—suggestive of a rural farmhouse and surrounding terrain—is rendered through a vigorous network of sweeping brushstrokes, layered color, and dynamic linear elements that verge on abstraction while retaining a strong sense of place. Fullarton’s confident handling of paint is evident in the richly textured surface, where bold impasto passages and fluid, calligraphic marks animate the composition. A luminous palette of cool blues, warm ochres, and earthen tones creates both contrast and harmony, evoking shifting light and seasonal atmosphere. The structural elements of the house and trees are fractured and reassembled through expressive line, lending the work a sense of movement and immediacy. Signed lower right, this painting reflects Fullarton’s ongoing exploration of the boundary between representation and abstraction, aligning him with the lineage of post-war British and Scottish expressive landscape painters. Presented in a substantial frame, the work offers strong visual impact and would make a striking addition to any contemporary or modern art collection. Expect to pay $12,000 and up in a gallery. Provenance: From the estate of Moira McCracken, an international equine sales executive based in Georgia. She had a home of beautiful art. She was a lifelong equestrian, maintained a passion for animals. At her passing she owned four horses and six dogs. She was the widow of John McCracken who established IBM in Edinburgh, Scotland.
