    I picked this up yesterday,I only usually get pictures that catch my eye as I am a complete novice, so I just buy what appeals to me.

    This is murky as all hell, and I think it's oil but it has glass and it touches in some places. I liked something about it though.

    It measures 19 inches down (49 cms) and 14 inches across including frame. (36 cms)
    These pics are terrible.
    I did try, I took hundreds and believe it or not these are the best.


    It's signed B. Alcock and I found a minor painter named Beatrice Alcock.
    To my uneducated eye the sig looks similar. I don't know if she painted in oil ever though. Also subject matter utterly different.
    ( And ofc I could be way off base. )
    It doesn't really matter, just curious. I am keeping it, I'm just interested.
    Makes it a bit more *mine*/ more personal somehow.
    Though again, it's only for casual info as I'm keeping it anyway. So my feelings won't be hurt if I have it wrong

    Anyway this is the Beatrice Alcock I found

    This is the example I found of her sig, from this site above

    It’s hard to match Painters when they are using different mediums but to me they don’t look like the same hand but I could be wrong.

    Totally agree...it's more likely I'm wrong. As I keep saying :D I'm only interested and as Oscar said, I ask merely for information!
    Many thanks House xxx

    Agree with Houseful, not the same painter, based on what little can be seen of the round piece. Looks like the painting was done on burlap.

    Many thanks anti xxx
    Just thought the lettering looked similar and ofc the name, didn’t think anything else matched xxx

    Oh you're quite welcome, Bou! To my eye, the siggy doesn't match, the painting is ad various angles, the round (is that a brooch?) painting has a deliberately neat signature, all angles are similar, there may be a slight curve at the bottom of the lowercase "L" not sure, hard to see.

    I had to look up how to spell brooch!

    I think the round painting is a big thing, not a brooch. There are a few pics on the site I got the sig from xxx
    Oh goodness…well, I have finally realised I literally cannot spell. I am either losing whatever ability to spell that I had or I never had any in the first place. Xxx

    I know how to spell, but usually can't, if that makes sense.

    Think it's quite a nice composition given subject matter, it draws you right in

    Seeing the art you have posted, I think you have a great eye for paintings (don't say that likely !)

    Thank you Sir, I love a good picture or two. I do try not to look at pictures though ... no wall space but sometimes I just cannot help bringing things back xxxx


    It reminded me of the riverbank in Hay, I used to walk there as a kid xx
