George Horne

[WendyW]

Does anyone have any information about the artist George Horne who was painting in the 1960's/70's/80's. He has links with West Midlands/Canada/Plymouth.

Hi Mike .. thanks for the info. I'm afraid that George Horne Russell is not the same artist. I have managed to track down a Canadian Art Gallery where one of "my " George Horne paintings was exhibited but the owner of the painting has not replied to my E Mails.

Sylvia, Thank you for the information. I did in fact track George down a while back and have had several conversations with him. He is now living near Exeter and is still painting. Wendy
