In the right hand corner it says Killiney, M,M, cD.
Killiney is a posh area of Dunlaoghaire near Dublin. Famous residents include Bono and The Edge. Or two members of the band U2. I saw them at a Christian music Rock festival called Greenbelt in Odell in Bedfordshire before they became megastars and I didn't think much of them. Shows what I know.
On the back of the picture there's writing:
It says Miss M M McDonald Exhibitor RA. That's Royal Academy isn't it?
I decided to Google MM McDonald and found a Margaret McDonald Mackintosh who was born Margaret McDonald near Tipton near Wolverhampton and was a member of the 'Glasgow four' who pioneered the Art Nouveau Movement. Could our carboot sale find be one of this famous artist's paintings?
Or perhaps it could be by Madeleine M McDonald who is listed to have been a RA exhibitor? The plot thickens.
A nice mornings work that only cost me five Euros!
Hey perhaps I could be on Fake or Fortune With Fiona Bruce? Wasn't her brother called Steve and played for the wonderful MU? Imagine Fiona with a Geordie accent? "Why aye man!"
How would you research an artist other than Professor Google? Think I will email the RA this week.
This time next year we will be Millionaires and we will have our luxury villa in the Algarve.
It's old so it's got to be worth a couple of hundred Pounds/Euros?
