Featured Opinions please

Hi grabbed this watercolour today without looking at artist mainly because I liked it. Question is i was doing some searching and found a sydney beare who was an Anzac. On the back has location of subject I would say his name and pt Neill stud (I think ) have compared written name and must say they are pretty close imo any opinions on the back and the signature happy to hear thanks chris

 

More likely this person - Sydney Robert Beare - buried in the Cemetry at Port Neill. Died in 2015 aged 85 so born well after the First World War.

To clarify: the soldier's full name was Sydney Alva Beare, while the picture is inscribed "SR Beare" on the reverse. They were probably related, as Sydney Alva Beare seems to have had connections with Port Neill.

Outstanding thanks architrave my searches didn't come close to that and port Neill now makes complete sense might do some more investigating fantastic chris

 

It's a shot in the dark, and I wish I could find the actual building, but perhaps Marble Hill is here:

And 49 minutes away from Port Neill is Cowell South Australia. The landscape of this painting definitely has the same feel as the coast of Cowell.
