The piece is not signed but came directly from the artists personal collection.
It is entitled "Views out to sea"
according to the Ellis Family 1998 inventory.

It is very hard to categorise this painting as a landscape or an interior scene as it is a balanced combination of the two.
The composition works very well to produce a comforting and dreamy atmosphere and the balance between cool & warm hues enhances this.
