Kernow-Maritime-Fine-Art Ebay shop for renowned 19th Century Marine Artists

Over the past year I have started to collect Maritime Art from various places (including auction houses) and have opened up an Ebay shop to display what I have available.

It has been a very interesting learning curve for me as I decided very early on to focus on well known and respected artists that command good prices and are likely to become more and more collectable over time. I have bought paintings that have been poorly framed and reframed them as well as adding new borders when these help the painting. The idea of the shop is to pass on my knowledge and research behind each painting and open them and the artists to a broader worldwide audience. In turn each customer can expect a well sourced painting with provenance, that will continue to increase in value over time.

I have mainly focused on watercolours as from a previous blog post I have always been interested in their technique and it is an affordable way for art enthusiasts to collect paintings. I have also generally stuck to 19th Century maritime artists as this is where my interests are. Some of these include: Edward Duncan (RSW), Clarkson Stanfield (RA), Copley Fielding (RSW), Montague Dawson (signed large prints), Thomas Bush Hardy (RBA), George Stanfield Walters (RBA), and Henry Barlow Carter. This list is continually changing as I sell paintings and add newly sourced ones and I am hoping to expand much further.

To give an insight into some of the paintings available below are some photos. If you have any questions about my Ebay shop please reply to this blog or message me on my Ebay account. This could be about particular paintings or artists. Also if you like a particular artist which I am not selling I can look into sourcing a painting for you. Keep checking the Ebay page as there will always be new paintings. Lastly, if it is interesting I may look in more depth at some of the paintings I am selling as well as the artists. I will return to normal blog posts next time. For now I hope some people have had a chance to go to the Turner Exhibition at the Tate!
