Message:: [QUOTE="Chinoiserie, post: 9421519, member: 79460"]I bought these two watercolours about three years ago. They both seemed like a reasonable standard and I do like watercolours. It took me a week or so to decipher the guillot part. The cathedral spires looked spanish to me. I did Spanish at school and I think my knowledge of that helped unlock the double L, then the rest of it fell into place. I put this into find art info, my holy grail of artists names and... nothing relevant. I was lay in bed one Sunday morning last year and just decided to google "guillot watercolour" and there in was. The signature on my paintings. Javier Varela Guillot. I think the cathedral is in Santiago. The coastal scene I am unsure of. They are of strange construction with glass on front and rear then taped up. Perhaps to keep out water and other nasty things.
