This is one of Hans Gabali's mini paintings.
Hans was an individualist and not limited in his thinking by convention.
As such, his work was not limited to walls or canvas. Anything that was
paintable was a potential part of his art. In this case he used a
discarded piece of wood.
This scene of a sail boat on a (bavarian?) mountain lake is classic
Gabali. Its style is definitely impressionistic as evidenced by the
wide, flowing brush strokes. It contains several of his trademark
elements: alpine scenerey, sailboats and flowers. You can see from the
frayed edges that is was painted on a rectangular scrap of masonite. The
date is unknown, but it was definitely painted before 2000 and is
probably one of his older works. In the lower left hand corner, you can
see his initial "H".
This is one of his "postage stamp paintings" ( it is about the
size of a postage - about 1' by 1 1/4 "). The fact that at first
glance, the viewer has no clue as to it's 'true size', is monumental
tribute to his talent! The detail in this painting may seem crude at
first but is actually quite impressive when viewed in actual
scale- to see
