We are offering for sale this lovely oil on canvas by the artist THOMAS (TOM) SEYMOUR, who has signed the painting Tom Seymour in the lower left hand corner. The painting depicts a lakeland view with an angler fishing on the banks of the lake, with a small flock of sheep grazing on the slightly higher ground to the right of the painting. There is a flock of birds wheeling above the lake and the sunlight is catching the tops of the trees and the rolling hills.

TOM SEYMOUR, as he signs himself, obviously found a ready market for his work without the need to exhibit, because we have found no reference to him in any of the art reference books, which draw their information from exhibition listings. He specialises in landscape and marine works. However, his work comes to the market quite often, as proven by the 105 auction listings on artprice.com, 40 on findartinfo.com and 17 on artnet.com. His works are regularly featured in Hislop's Guide to the UK Art Market and a 30" x 20" painting made £900 at Tennants in North Yorkshire in 2005, a pair of 24" x 16" made £2,600 also at Tennants in 2004 and 6 of his oils were sold in Copenhagan in 2003, the highest realising £1,400. In 2007, a 24" x 16" made £750.

The painting is framed in an ornate, swept gilt frame, which suits it extremely well. It is ready to hang.
