Hello! I am a long-time seller/buyer on ebay and have always been a collector of quality paintings, mostly portraits, for many, many years, and unfortunately I need to downsize my collection. I am selling quite a few portraits, a selection of which can be seen in the final photo of this listing. They are either already for sale, or will be listed soon.

If you fall in love with any of my paintings but feel unable to settle the full amount in one payment, I am happy to consider paying in instalments, with delivery once the full amount has been received. I am a trustworthy seller, so please be assured I will not renege on any arrangement we agree.

From a smoke-free home. Any questions, please ask!

ITEM FOR SALE: This listing is for an unusual 1955 UK street scene painted by northern artist Colin Thomson. Interesting use of reflection, painted in an impressionist style. The painting itself is in great condition, but the painting was discovered in a shed a few years ago, and the frame itself is quite warped. I have hung this on my wall, but it could be corrected/reframed if wanted. The painting is unsigned, but the gallery I bought it from assured me it is by this artist. Entitled 'Shop window display', it cost £500. I have two others by the same artist. It is very large, so would be collection only from Hessle, East Yorkshire. Height 103 cm, width 137 cm, depth 3 cm.

Bids/payment: PLEASE ONLY BID/MAKE OFFERS IF YOU INTEND TO COMPLETE THE SALE - it wastes my time and yours! Please make your payment within 3 days or contact me to discuss before bidding/buying. I accept PayPal only, unless it is a collection, in which case I may accept cash payment.

Postage: I keep my postage costs as low as I possibly can. I endeavour to post most items within 2-3 days of payment being received. I normally use standard Royal Mail post 2nd class - please contact me if you would prefer another service or are an international customer. I will offer lower postage costs if you buy more than one item where possible - please ask. Most items can be collected from me in person if you prefer - I live in Hessle, East Yorkshire, near the Humber Bridge!

International buyers: I am happy to post internationally on most items. Please contact me before bidding to discuss/agree purchase and postage costs. I normally estimate costs and refund the difference if cheaper. I have not signed up for the ebay Global Shipping Programme as I find it can be restrictive and expensive.

Returns: If you have any problems with your order, please contact me before opening a case, as this gives us more flexibility in solving any issues. Items should usually only be returned if they are not as described, or faulty, so please check any measurements carefully before bidding/buying. This is because I am a small-scale private seller and cannot afford to pay the extra postage/listing costs associated with returned items. Please note that photographs do not always represent the item with 100% accuracy, but I do edit these to make them as accurate as possible.

Feedback: I try my very best as a seller, and have thousands of positive feedback reviews. However, if you have any issues with my service or items please let me know - I will try my best to help. If you are happy with your service, I would really appreciate you leaving positive feedback. This is really important to me as a small seller as it helps other buyers feel confident enough to buy from me, and also lets me know you have received your item safely. Thank you!
