Newbie saying Hi !!

Hi Everyone,

My name is Colin and obviously new here.. I sometimes find the odd items I like to keep or sell on. Also looking for advice on some things that come my way

Regards
Colin

 

HI again,
I wanted to post this as I am at a bit of a loss with the searching on line. I bought a water colour painting a few years ago and have been trying find out more about the artist. All I have to go on is that it is signed either J. Lyon or S. Lyon and dated 1930. From what I can tell its still in the original frame . Please see images for reference .. Any advice would be great to enlighten me.

Colin

Welcome Colin.

So's @Debora.

 

Hello, everyone! I thought I'd commented on this painting but... Well, you know how it goes.

Charming work, Colin. That does look like the original frame and how nice the work is dated. I'd think something done on holiday by someone who was trained but not a professional artist. (See how he's not as assured with figures as he is with landscape?) Romanesque tower, cypress and umbrella pine points to a Mediterranean country, such as Spain, France or Italy. With a bit of time you might be able to identify setting but not sure it matters. And the artist is "I. Lyon" I'd think. (The blonde figures may well be his wife and daughter; their poses are a bit too jaunty for villagers.) You can always open up the back to see if more information available there.
