.....AN EXCITING DISCOVERY!
A painting by John described in the catalogue as “Moored ship and tug off a dockside” (oil on board, signed and measuring 38cm x 54cm) has come to light after having been sold at auction in Surrey. It is one of a series of oils painted in the late 1960s / early 1970s showing shipping on the River Wear and was unknown to us until now. The painting has been added to our growing list of re-discovered works in readiness for inclusion in John’s Catalogue Raisonne.
