All the paintings we are selling here were left to us by my late father. 

He collected well in excess of a thousand paintings over the course of his 50+ year art collecting obsession.

 

As was often said of him: 'He never met a painting that he didn't like'

We aim to find a loving home for each of them and hope they bring you as much joy as they did my father!
