    Hi folks

    something i picked up at a bootsale at the weekend for very little
    i don't over like it, reminds me a little of a paint by numbers, and put it down twice
    but did like the composition, and the fact it had a little age
    think i read Sellabama ?
    something written in pencil on back, that i cant make out

    any thoughts or info appreciated

    (Josep or José) Font Sellabona, a Barcelona artist (1928 - 2010). Invaluable link. Nice find! I love the atmosphere and those greens.

    Back might say Drewry? Might be the owner's name.

    Auto correct playing up again?:playful: It does sound much more friendly than 'paint by numbers' though.:)

    I like it mate-I'm guessing (from rudimentary research) that it might fetch 100-250 ?
    Good pick for boot bootie.
    PS-I hate 'Auto-correct'.

    They seem to have captured that Mediterranean rustic feeling really well. I love paintings with this subject matter.
