Additional information and Comments

I have in my possession a painting by this artist, 'the Canal at West Drayton' which I bought in 1992. It is a view, from one of the bridges, of two barges, a horse, some wharves and a cottage. I have visited the spot myself and it is quite near the station. It has been recently cleaned and reframed. Anybody wishing to know more should contact the owner, Dr Ian Rowbotham, who will be plaesed to help.
I have a painting of this artist too. It's a landscape. I don't know the name nor how much it's worth. Can somebody update me?????
I have a 1903 painting by John Buxton Knight, I am the great granddaughter of Mr. SM Phillips of Wrotham Kent.
I have two paintings by this artist which I would like to sell. Please contact me if you are interested.
