dunsbyowl1867 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Possibly it's only marine artist! Noticed this in The Star of the 28th of May. I haven't heard of him before and can't find any mention of him here. Paintings sold THREE paintings by Sheffield's finest marine painter, Thomas Bush Hardy, sold for nearly £6,000 at Christie's in London. One painting of a Dutch coastal scene sold for £3,500, while two other pictures of continental coast scenes fetched £2,375. http://www.tbhardy.com/ http://www.google.co...ved=0CDYQsAQwAw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Trefcon Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 One of his paintings has just been featured on the programme 'Put your money where your mouth is', sold at auction for about £350.00. It was a seascape of the foreshore of Folkestone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 One of his paintings has just been featured on the programme 'Put your money where your mouth is', sold at auction for about £350.00. It was a seascape of the foreshore of Folkestone. Just watched it on BBC iPlayer, the painting was purchased for £325 and went for £370, so after the auctioneers fees were deducted the seller made a loss. Thomas Bush Hardy's eldest son was also an artist, best known for his graphic art. Dudley Hardy R.I., R.B.A., R.M.S., P.S. Born: Sheffield, 1867; Died: London, 1922.
