Tom Forrestall has two flower themed painting in show Flora at Gallery 78
Dad's beautiful egg tempera paintings of two flower themed works are on display for the next few weeks at Gallery 78 in Fredericton.
There are a couple of egg temperas of dad's in the show.
I have just inherited a Tom Forrestall painting from my mother-in-law who used to live in Kentville, NS as an antique dealer about 40 years ago. I am wondering if this work that I have is a print or an original. Did Tom make prints? It is a watercolour of apples lying on the ground with sticks and twigs. I love it.
Lovely thing to inherit. Couldn't really say without seeing it. Dad made watercolours and prints. Check near the signature, if there is a number such as 42 / 100 then its a print. Look at the surface, one can often tell an original watercolour by the look of the surface texture.
