Title: French Country Road with Large Tree and Distant Farmhouses Pastel Drawing
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Oil pastel on artist paper
Size: 19.75 x 23.5 inches (height x width)
Provenance: Artists estate, France

Description:
This dynamic French landscape by Guy Nicod (1923–2021) centres around a towering, leafless tree that stretches across the composition with dark red and black branches, creating a dramatic contrast against the multicoloured farmland beyond. Rendered in expressive oil pastel, the piece combines sweeping, rhythmic linework with vibrant fields in shades of ochre, green, violet, and rust.
A winding country road curves in from the lower left, leading the viewer’s eye toward a grouping of low farm buildings nestled beneath the tree’s canopy. The rooflines are sharp and geometric, rendered in deep slate and softened with warm accents. To the right, a smaller cream house glows against a cluster of pale pink trees, suggesting spring blossoms just beginning to bloom.
In the lower foreground, Nicod introduces rich textures of hedgerows, embankments, and a patch of blue-green ground cover that adds an almost abstract dimension to the composition. The scene evokes the rich, varied terrain of rural France — perhaps somewhere in Normandy or the Loire Valley — depicted here in a moment of early seasonal change.
This work is a strong example of Nicod’s ability to blend architectural form, atmospheric mood, and landscape rhythm into a single composition. Its drama lies not in the narrative but in the energy of the lines and colour. Ideal for collectors of modernist landscapes, French rural art, or bold tree-themed compositions, this piece is both decorative and emotionally resonant.

Peggy Leonard received her BFA in painting and drawing and an associate’s degree in nursing from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. She is both a registered nurse, and accomplished artist, residing in Milwaukee, WI.
From the artist:
“These paintings are my prayers,” muses Leonard, reflecting on her driving need to express herself through her art. “We are made of the stuff that requires us to respond with our hearts and hands. Often, it requires terrible sacrifice and suffering, something not everyone can understand. But it is done with reverence of life, not irreverence.”
Leonard’s pastels and oil paintings capture her reverence of life and reflect her own life’s journey, including earlier forays into the wilderness. Her venture into art began in early childhood, as childless neighbors nurtured her natural ability to draw; concurrently, Leonard’s parents instilled a respect for academic excellence and the higher order of nurturing others.
As a young nurse, Leonard “heard and saw poignant messages to travel while one was young and free…while one had one’s health.” Consequently, she took to the open road and public lands, camping across America for months at a time. During these years, her “celebration of the natural splendor of this country” helped shape her sense of artistic expression. She was moved by such sights as the sunset on St. Mary’s Lake...
