Barbara C. Shaw Original Oil Painting – Burnsall Village, Wharfedale

An atmospheric original oil painting by Bradford artist Barbara C. Shaw, depicting Burnsall Village in Wharfedale, within the Yorkshire Dales.

This substantial landscape features traditional stone buildings and a prominent leafless tree, painted with expressive impasto and palette-knife work. Its muted earthy palette beautifully captures the rugged character and changing light of the Yorkshire countryside.

The painting is signed “Barbara Shaw” to the lower right. The reverse is handwritten by the artist with the title “Burnsall Village, Wharfedale”, together with her name, Bradford address and original telephone number—providing excellent provenance and confirming both the artist and location.

Presented in a period gilt-toned wooden frame and ready to display.
