Quote: ESTATE FRESH. BOTH ARE ORIGINAL WATERCOLORS AND ARE NOT PRINTS. THESE ARE THE REAL DEAL. WE FOUND THEM TOGETHER AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THEM TOGETHER SINCE THAT HAVE BEEN PAIRED UP FOR ALL OF THESE YEARS, WELL OVER 100 YEARS AND IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO PART THEM NOW. GARMAN MORRIS IS A LISTED ENGLISH PAINTER WHO WAS BORN AROUND 1800. THERE IS NO RECORD OF HIS DEATH. HE IS A WELL SOLD ARTIST AND AUCTION RECORDS FOR HIS ART WORK IS ALL OVER THE MAP. HE PAINTED COASTAL SCENES AND SEA SCAPE'S.
THESE TWO PAINTING DATE MID 19TH CENTURY AND ARE IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE FRAMES ARE WORN AND DO HAVE DINGS . SPLITS AND ARE LOOSE. THEY CAN BE STILL USED ONCE CLEANED UP. THE WATERCOLORS ARE SIGNED AND TITLED MOON RISE AND MORNING. THE MOON RISE WATERCOLOR HAS A TIN 3/4" LONG CRACK IN THE PAPER ABOVE THE MOON. IT ALSO HAS A FEW LIGHT SCUFF MARKS. OTHER THAN THAT THEY ARE BOTH DAMAGE FREE. THE GLASS IN THE FRAMES IS THE ORIGINAL HAND BLOWN WAVY GLASS. THE GLASS WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE FRAMES AS TO PROTECT THE PAINTING FROM DAMAGE SHOULD THEY BREAK.
FRAMED THEY MEASURE 25" X 11 1/2". THE IMAGES ALONE MEASURE 20 3/4" X 6 3/4". WE WILL ONLY OFFER THIS LOST AS A PAIR OF PAINTINGS ONCE. IF THEY DO NOT SELL WE WILL HAVE TO BREAK THEM UP.
POSTAGE IN THE US IS A FLAT RATE OF $30.00 PLUS POSTAL INSURANCE.

I have just today gotten around to googling Garman Morris, I had an old picture that was in the basement of my grandmother's house...no one else wanted it and my grandmother was never wealthy so of course we didn't think it was of any real commercial value. Anyway, the picture is titled Moonrise and I assume mine is a print but don't want to rip it out of the frame to confirm since the original has been authenticated as per above. I love its ghostly feeling, wish I knew how my grandmother in London, Canada ended up with it...her family came from Scotland.
