imagine walking into an antiques store in Devon, seeing a nice frame with a painting in it buying the frame for £30.00 then finding out the picture is worth £10,000! it appears the painting was the work of Walter J. Phillips, the great Canadian watercolour painter and print maker, born in the UK his family moved to Canada, it just goes to show despite programs like The Antiques Roadshow et al there are still treasures to be found, even better the picture went for nealy 5 times the estimate at a staggering £48,000! lucky or what!
