Arthur J Elsley

[beckham1]

A few years ago I bought 2 Arthur J Elsley paintings. On the back reads:
A Tempting Bait
Oil on Canvas 40 x 58 in
By Courtesy of the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum, Bournemouth


Golden Hours
Original: Oil 40 x 60 in
By Courtesy Richard Green Gallery

No doubt they are not original I'm sure but do you have any idea of their value. I paid only $25.00 USD at a garage sale so surely they are worth that.
I was just curious. They do have his name and a number on the front.
I greatly appreciate any knowledge from you all!
Thanks so very much!
