- Original watercolour painting, depicting a view of Whitby harbour, with boats on the water in the foreground, and the famous Whitby swing bridge beyond, this bright and vibrant original work is by the British artist George 'Griff' Griffiths (1929-2017).George Griffiths was born in Ryhill near Wakefield, Yorkshire, and having an interest in drawing, he won a scholarship to Wakefield School of Arts & Crafts aged 13 followed by 3 years architectural work and study. He left painting behind and joined the Royal Navy, where he spent 7 years before going into the insurance industry, which took him to Leeds. His son joined the local art group, and he went along with him, and began to paint again for the first time since art school. 18 months later when sales of his watercolours began to exceed his sales of insurance he opted for a career as a professional artist.- Signed lower left- Framed, glazed and ready to hang, in a moulded light-wooden frame- Painting size 27.5cm x 18.5cm (approx. 10 3/4 inches x 7 1/4 inches)- Frame size 32cm x 42cm (approx. 12 1/2 inches x 16 1/2 inches)- The frame has some minor rubbing in places, commensurate with age, otherwise both painting and frame are in excellent condition- Original gift- All paintings are carefully packaged to prevent damage during shipping- Please contact us for European and Worldwide shipping prices- If you have any questions about this item, please contact us and we will respond within an hour
