saying they can not authorship this .
So my question is what now ? Where do I go frm here ?

 

According to the label on your piece, it is a copy of Easley's painting, the original of which is in the collection of the Russell-Cotes Museum and Gallery in Bournemouth. If you do a Google Images search, you will find this painting by Easley is widely reproduced. Here, for instance, is a copy (unframed) available on Amazon.

The prices are all over the place, however, so you could certainly profit from your investment, regardless.

I can't read the label from the gallery.
Does it have a zip code for the address?
Area code for the phone #?

Both of these would indicate a newer framing.
To me the frame looks 1970s-80s.

 

I think it says:
The Phoenix Gallery
165-167 Rose Lane
Mossley Hill
Liverpool
L18 5EA
Telephone 051-724 5517

 

I hate Giclee................makes folks think they have a real painting...

 

It appears to be a print also.

Specifically for komokwa...a non Giclee antique print.

 

ok...what's an antique print......is that even a thing..?

 

Oh come on! icollector said so. Plus, others spoke about "old repos" beginning in the 19thC, so...antique print.

Could you tell me why you think print pls as iv looked and looked I don't think so probably wrong though but the label is from Liverpool were I live a different one was sold in 2000 from a family who owned it in birkenhead a place very close to were i live .iv tried to read different articles on how to tell if real I think there is paint layering if you look closely more with the black on trees .So if any one could kindly share good knowledge becouse now iv started looking iv found two more hidden away I have my eye on quite exciting i may devellop a habit for this lol

Thanks every1

Looks too flat for a oil painting. Also the label says by Courtesy of the Russell Cotes museum which means permission has been given by them to a company to copy the original painting. I’ve been caught myself if I’ve gone out without my loupe, thought I had a pencil drawing and it turned out to be a print on closer examination.

 

No iv done that lots and compared to others no matrix dots I could do pic with the magnifier if helps

Thankyou

 

Your right it does look flat not like others iv seen really thick but I think i can see layering on bits

Sorry just read this properly about courtesy!
That never even crossed my mind 'ddddddrrrrrr'


Thanks

Vicky

 

You are welcome. It is good fun though finding items that initially you think could be really valuable and even when you find out they aren’t you still had fun with the experience and you get to find out more about identifying others you come across.
I once thought I had a catseye jewel, turned out to be glass.

 

Hi Everyone,

I bought a oil painting by an artist called 'M James' in a charity shop at Rhos on Sea, North Wales last year. It has the address of the Phoenix Gallery in Liverpool on the back of the frame (a place that someone else has recently mentioned on this message board). It's a rather large painting of a lighthouse on the coastline and it's approximately 24 x 28 inches. It's a really nice piece and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this artist.

I would be most grateful for any information received.

Kind Regards.

- Kevin.
