<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Hartley, post: 353880, member: 1311&quot;]Quite some time ago, I purchased this small watercolour at a local auction; didn&#039;t pay very much. I tried to find information about the artist but was unsuccessful. I found another work by him on line that had sold in a UK gallery (signature matched) and contacted the gallery and they responded, but they knew nothing about the artist nor did the seller whom they had contacted for me.</p><p>I believe the artist to be British; possibly late 19th/early 20th century.</p><p>It is interesting that on the back of the painting it appears to have been sold to a W.J. Frazer in Newglasgow, Nova Scotia - appears as if it might have been sent to him with his address noted on the back. What all the other numbers &amp; such are, I have no idea.</p><p>The painting, as noted on the back, is Grimspound, Dartmoor which is the remains of a Bronze or Iron age settlement in Dartmoor in Devon.</p><p>Altho a bit difficult to see, the signature on the Polperro &amp; the Torquay paintings (found on line as well) also match the one on my painting.</p><p>I also saw somewhere that this artist might also have painted under the name William Greenwood? But I am not totally sure about that. (It was awhile ago so Greenwood might be a bad memory)</p><p>If anyone knows anything about W.G. Cole I would appreciate any information about him.</p><p>THANKS[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
