Don Hale of Coast & Country magazine
contacted me about two E C Quayle paintings that are being
offered for sale. The
owner is a keen Christian, who intends to use proceeds to help
raise funds towards her missionary work in Ghana.
The
paintings are from a private collection and the owner's great
grandfather was apparently a good friend of the artist when he
lived in Birkenhead.
The
grandfather worked in the shipyard and supported Quayle by
lending him funds to buy paints in the early days. As a
gesture of goodwill, the artist then supposedly gave him these
original watercolour paintings. They were painted
c1895-1902 The paintings pictured below: Laxey Glen
and Sheep bridge
For further information contact donald.hale@talk21.com
Laxey Glen 25 inches wide x 18 inches high. Sheepbridge 28.5 inches wide x 21.5 inches high.
