Under the Oaks

20th Century Scottish School oil on canvas signed Alexander Brownlie Docarty (1862-1940) lower right. The work is a bit textured to the touch.

A countryside landscape with controlled brushstrokes. The dark colors are marked and occupy the escape under this wide clear blue sky. The trees and their intricate foliage seem to be the subject of the landscape making the sheep a mere spectators of the towering trees.

About the artist: Alexander Brownlie Docharty (1862–1940) was a Scottish painter who devoted his life to capturing the beauty of the Scottish countryside. He began his career as a calico print maker, but soon realized that his true passion lay in painting. He attended the Glasgow School of Art where he honed his skills as an artist and developed a deep love for the natural world.

Docharty's style is characterized by his attention to detail and his use of rich, dark colors. He was inspired by the landscapes of his homeland and spent many hours sketching and painting the Scottish countryside. He exhibited his works at the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts and later studied at the Julien Academy in Paris.

Despite his success as an artist, Docharty remained humble and dedicated to his craft throughout his life. He passed away in 1940, leaving behind a legacy of stunning Scottish landscapes that continue to inspire and delight art lovers around the world.
