It could be because my Mum`s favourite uncle painted them, or because his daughter is one of my few remaining relatives still speaking to me, but I love them and believe that he had true talent. I am having all of his paintings that I have archivally re-framed, but in the original frames.

This last one is the largest of all. It is actually too large for my scanner. My Uncle painted it for his favourite niece, my Mum, for her wedding present. I have two that were painted for me, but I believe that you can see his passion in the landscapes.

This meant a lot to me, getting them back. Thanks for looking at them.

Also agree with Annette about families. In my case, the less said the better.

Happy Monday and hugs to you both!

Those are treasures for certain. Beautiful water colors!
I think every family has relatives like that - "Family Vultures".
I have a cousin whose grandmother burned all our family heirlooms - furniture, china, silverware, brooches, family portraits, and etc., to keep her daughter-in-law (my cousin's mother) from getting them when my cousin's grandfather died. They weren't her grandmother's family things. They were our family's heirlooms. They dated back to the 1790s from Ireland, and some things from England. My cousin said she could still remember the huge bonfires that burned for days out in the yard.
Fortunately, her father was able to rescue some of the old documents, papers, deeds and even old letters, by hiding them away in the barn attic inside an old trunk. What a selfish and hateful old woman!
I am so glad you were able to get those paintings back before something happened to them.
