Description:
This expressive French landscape drawing by modernist artist Guy Nicod (1923–2021) captures a quiet corner of rural life, filled with atmosphere and early spring energy. At the centre stands a bare-branched tree, its limbs twisted against a soft green sky. A winding ochre path cuts through the hills, leading past a weathered shed toward yellow fields and distant slopes.
In the lower right, a small vineyard emerges, its posts and early shoots lining a cultivated plot of earth. The left side is anchored by the vertical form of a rustic wooden outbuilding, rendered in a dark mix of charcoal and sea green. Throughout the scene, Nicod uses confident, directional pastel strokes to create texture, movement, and seasonal nuance — from the subtle purples in the shadows to the golden sunlit hilltops beyond.
This drawing reflects Nicod’s fascination with the patterns of agricultural life and his ability to abstract familiar elements into rhythmic, harmonious compositions. There is a sense of stillness here — the moment before trees bloom, before the vines grow thick — that speaks to time and quiet renewal. The curved pathway, central tree, and softly layered hills all lead the viewer into a meditative, balanced space.
Perfect for collectors who appreciate modernist rural scenes, vineyard imagery, or early spring landscapes with architectural elements, this piece is both intimate and sculptural in feel.

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...
