| I am now retired, and all the
following are in my own collection. However, like all collectors, I like
to update my collection, which usually means having to sell something in
order to buy another ! So, I am always willing to discuss parting with any of the watercours below, and have indicated alongside each, a guide price - always open to discussion ! All are in good unfaded condition, and all are displayed in conservation mounts with hand applied wash lines. Have a look around, and get in touch if you want to discus any item. |
