Thank you Jude, your post to this thread is wonderful.
Your affinity to Art is understandable, I think I would do the same as you and ask anyone and everyone if they had heard of the name.
I have been looking at some of Philip's work, and have read about his capture during the second world war. Did you know some of his work is with the Imperial War Museum, just been reading about him.
You have seem one of my sketches.......... it is used as my PeeEmm profile picture ......... loved Elvis.

Regards Peter

Peter....thats very impressive, lovely sketch of Elvis:))....more please:))

Yes l have seen Phillips work at the Imperial and others, along with Bernards, we saw Bernards in the cellars:))) Phillips are of his sketches whilst a prisoner, l can't remember the name of the other artist....Steele or simular, there is also a recording of Phillip.

Just a PS, if you are in doubt about a paintings age it can be worth asking for a photo of the back of a canvas .

The colour, method of stretching etc are all good indications of age. tacks not staples, joints on the stretcher and dust , all worth inspecting.

Jude, I'm sure you have done the 'right' thing.
It will be nice for you to have a piece of Art with the Family name, even if it turns out to be an " in the style of " and not an original.

As I'm not a professional artist - no I don't take commissions.
I do my Art for the love of it, I did sell a painting once at a Charity thing locally but that was different.
