I took a punt on a painting that took my eye in a local auction, I paid around £75 for it as my wife liked it too so we put it up in the spare room. Thing is I have since looked up the painter, Harry Charles Tim and if it is by him he’s apparently quite collectible with works on display and sold via at Saatchi in London and Montpellier in Stratford Upon Avon. I wondered if anyone might be able to tell if it IS an early work by HCT and if I might have stumbled upon some previously unknown 5 figure masterpiece.
it doesn’t bother me if it turns out to be fake as we like it!

update : a friend messaged me to say drop the painter a line via Instagram, so I did and he got back to me confirming it is indeed one of his early works and is called Karnival, he painted it in Germany in the early 70’s. I’ve no intention of selling it though as my wife likes it and she’d have kittens if I stuck it on eBay or some other auction site so it stays in the spare room wall, looks like I can’t retire just yet then…
